Angel of Death

Lyrics

[Intro Sample] Oh my God There's millions of them [Verse 1] I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a`blazing Going up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burnt alive [Chorus] They went down, down Deep underground In the great disaster [Verse 2] I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen two world wars Seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An Angel of death descending to destroy the human race [Chorus] Down, down Deep underground A great disaster [Interlude] In the sixteenth century There was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesied that in the late twentieth century An Angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust of the likes of which this planet has never seen Now, I ask, do you believe this to be true? [Verse 3] I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man, so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane [Chorus] He went down, down Deep underground A great disaster We'll go down, down Deep underground A great disaster [Drum Solo] You'll go down, down Deep underground [Outro Sample] I think they've gone now
