Angel Of Death Lynott Wharton lyrics

--------------

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!
