Thin Lizzy – Angel Of Death

Thin Lizzy – Angel Of Death

Oh my god
Theres millions of them!

Ive seen a fire start in frisco
The day that the earth quaked
Ive seen buildings a-blazing
Throwing up in flames

I heard men, women and children
Crying out
To their God for mercy
But their God didnt 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
Ive seen hitlers storm troopers
March right across the marginal line

Ive seen two world wars
Ive seen men send rockets out into space
I foresee a holocaust
An angel of death descending to destroy the human race

Down, down, deep underground
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

Youll go down, down, deep underground
A great disaster

Youll go down, down

Deep underground

Voice says: I think they’ve got now!
