Angel of death

Oh my god
There´s millions of them!
I´ve seen a fire start in frisco
The day that the earth quaked
I´ve seen buildings a-blazing
Throwing 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 burned alive
They went down, down, deep underground
In the great disaster
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
I´ve seen men send rockets out into space
I foresee a holocaust
An angel of death descending to destroy the human race
Down, down, deep undergound
A great disaster
In the sixteenth century there was a french philosopher
By the name of nostradamus
Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century
An angel of death shall waste this land
A holocaust the likes of which
This planet had never seen
Now, I ask you
Do you believe this to be true?
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
He went down, down, deep underground
A great disaster
You´ll go down, down, deep underground
A great disaster
I think they´ve got now!
There´s millions of them!
I´ve seen a fire start in frisco
The day that the earth quaked
I´ve seen buildings a-blazing
Throwing 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 burned alive
They went down, down, deep underground
In the great disaster
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
I´ve seen men send rockets out into space
I foresee a holocaust
An angel of death descending to destroy the human race
Down, down, deep undergound
A great disaster
In the sixteenth century there was a french philosopher
By the name of nostradamus
Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century
An angel of death shall waste this land
A holocaust the likes of which
This planet had never seen
Now, I ask you
Do you believe this to be true?
I was standing by the bedside
The night that my father died

He went down, down, deep underground
A great disaster
You´ll go down, down, deep underground
A great disaster
I think they´ve got now!
