Sympathy for the Devil Jane's Addiction

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

I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment 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
Oh, 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, I held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

I'm pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah, what's puzzling you
Was the nature of my game
