Please allow me to introduce myself
A E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long years
I've stolen 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 bodies stank
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But 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
So let me please introduce myself
I'm 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
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is criminal
And all the sinners saints
As head 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 politeness
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
