Sympathy For The Devil

Tiamat

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

`cause 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

Ah, what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game



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

`cause what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game



Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

`cause what's confusing you

Is just the nature of my game



Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you

guess my name, guess my name

Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you

guess my name, guess my name
