Please  allow me to introduce  myself, I'm a man  of wealth and taste
 I've been around for long,  long years, stole many a man's  soul and faith
 I was around when Jesus  Christ had his moments  of doubt and pain
I  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 time for a change
 I killed the Tzar 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
 But what's puzzling you
 Is the nature of my game
 ||:Drums |Drums |Drums |Drums :|| 2x
 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
 Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste
 And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay
 Pleased to meet you
 Hope you guess my name
 But what's puzzling you
 Is the nature of my game
 Just as every cop is 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
 Pleased to meet you
 Hope you guess my name
 But what's puzzling you
 Is the nature of my game
