Sudden Death (Single Version)

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Verse 1]

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 old fashioned beating

Within inches of your life

[Chorus]

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 lightning

And now Heaven sends its love

Your sudden death from above

[Verse 2]

Once frozen like a prisoner depraved

Perched high atop the lithospheres

Set free from beneath the depths of Hell

Bequeathing anything but despair

The beast is genetically programmed

Time to destroy, time to go berserk

To see the end of all wars

To see the end of the earth

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Verse 3]

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

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Chorus]

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 lightning

And now Heaven sends its love

Your sudden death from above
