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 New York In the year two thousand and one I've seen steel birds falling down in great fire I've seen so many 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
