Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
'Who killed the Kennedys?'
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell ma wooden cup
and a crown of thorns
will set up the stage
for the cross
i rent a room next door
there is nothing more
no further voices hear
I'll be free
it doesn't matter anymore
that somesone's knocking at my door
I've known it long before
the galilean's on the floor
shame on me
shame on meI'm a tool and nothing more
I can feel it's getting nearer
images they'll turn out clearer
creeps in and out of you mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
but is it really justified
to sacrifice
to crucify
the rescue of the human kind
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
i hear them howling hear them scream
the raging mob turns mad it seemd
"the king's in town
we need a crown"
i think we all know
how it ends
"so we're not going take it longer"
so all I know is I don't care
"so we're not going take it longer"
now we are aware
I can feel it's getting nearer
images they'll turn out clearer
creeps in and out of you mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
but is it really justified
to sacrifice
to crucify
the rescue of the human kind
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
there I tie the ass
there I tie the colt
begging for a last chance
I hear the voices say
"we get hin home tonight
and that's all you need to know"
I'm alone
so I can't stand it any longer
and I don't want to see it
