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
