Scorpion Q+A 180

Question

Hey there. My mind was just blown by Megadeth's new song, Sudden Death. Any way you could share the lyrics with us? Dave's singing on this song and in Endgame btw, is freakin' awesome. Reminds me of older classics like Holy Wars, the Punishment Due. These are the new classics!

Thx,

Bob

Answer

Sudden Death

His evil Highness, born from disaster
To dominate and to kill
A glistening, murder-machine
False majesty, standing perfectly still

A blitzkrieg raining down evil
On a mountain of black ice
Like a good ole fashioned beating within
Inches of your life

While alone and left abandoned
With the sentence you've been handed
All your angels will ignore you
As your life flashes before you

Even still you keep on fighting
Through the thunder and the lighting
And now Heaven sends its love
Your sudden death from above

Once frozen like a prisoner depraved
Perched high atop the lithospheres
Set free from beneath the depths of hell
Bequeathing man nothing but despair

The beast is genetically programmed
Time to destroy, time to go berserk
To see the end of all war
To see the end of the Earth

Stopping at nothing, punch-drunk
From the blood that he's tasted
Tearing your soul apart
Not one bit of your pain will be wasted

Now death descends upon you
Like a bloody white dove
Bringing your retribution
Your sudden death from above

While alone and left abandoned
With the sentence you've been handed
All your angels will ignore you
As your life flashes before you

Even still you keep on fighting
Through the thunder and the lighting
And now Heaven sends its love
Your sudden death from above
