Thin Lizzy - Angel Of Death Lyrics
Oh my godTheres millions of them!Ive seen a fire start in friscoThe day that the earth quakedIve seen buildings a-blazingThrowing up in flamesI heard men, women and childrenCrying out to their God for mercyBut their God didnt listenSo they were burned aliveThey went down, down, deep undergroundIn the great disasterI was hanging out in berlinIn the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nineIve seen hitlers storm troopersMarch right across the maginot lineIve seen two world warsIve seen men send rockets out into spaceI foresee a holocaustAn angel of death descending to destroy the human raceDown, down, deep undergoundA great disasterIn the sixteenth century there was a french philosopherBy the name of nostradamusWho prophesised that in the late twentieth centuryAn angel of death shall waste this landA holocaust the likes of whichThis planet had never seenNow, I ask youDo you believe this to be true?I was standing by the bedsideThe night that my father diedHe was crying out in painTo his God he said, have mercy, mercy!His body was riddled with a diseaseUnknown to man so he expected no cureBut before he died that nightHe was lost, insaneHe went down, down, deep undergroundA great disasterYoull go down, down, deep undergroundA great disasterI think theyve got now!Angel of death (lynott, wharton) [lorelei version]--------------I was hanging round in friscoIn the year of one hundred and nineteen sixWhen I heard about the earthquakeThe world trembled from withinI saw the fire raginThrough all that time I heard people dyingThey went down, down, deep undergroundIn the great disasterI was hanging out in berlineIn the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nineIve seen hitlers storm troopersMarch right across the maginot lineIve seen men run away crying gas!Right in front of their throatsI wouldnt think that I was squeezingThey went down, down, deep underground a great disasterI was standing at the bedsideThat night my father diedI could see him crying for mercyA disease had got his bodyI was afraid thenAs I am nowThe lord did not hear himHe went anyhowHe went down, down, deep undergroundIt was a disasterI will go down, down, undergroundTo meet my masterDown, down
