Angel of Death

[Intro]

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-blazin'

Goin' up in flames

I heard men, women, and children cryin' 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 hangin' out in Berlin

In the year 1939

I've seen Hitler's stormtroopers

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[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, the likes of which this planet has never seen

Now, I ask you, do you believe this to be true?

[Verse 3]

I was standin' by the bedside

The night that my father died

He was cryin' 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, ow

[Outro]

I think they've gone now
