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! |
|
Angel of death (lynott, wharton) [lorelei version] |

,------------ |
|
I was hanging round in frisco |
|
In the year of one hundred and nineteen six |
|
When i heard about the earthquake |
|
The world trembled from within |
|
I saw the fire ragin |
|
Through all that time i heard people dying |
|
They went down, down, deep underground |
|
In the great disaster |
|
I was hanging out in berline |
|
In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine |
|
I've seen hitler's storm troopers |
|
March right across the maginot line |
|
I've seen men run away crying "gas!" |
|
Right in front of their throats |
|
I wouldn't think that i was squeezing |
|
They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster |
|
I was standing at the bedside |
|
That night my father died |
|
I could see him crying for mercy |
|
A disease had got his body |
|
I was afraid then |
|
As i am now |
|
The lord did not hear him |
|
He went anyhow |
|
He went down, down, deep underground |
|
It was a disaster |
|
I will go down, down, underground |
|
To meet my master |
|
Down, down |
