Sudden Death Lyrics

Cover art for Sudden Death lyrics by Megadeth

This song is one of my favorite's Megadeth singles.

As for the meaning, I don't know why, but the chorus reminds me so much of the Satan in the first book of Paradise Lost:

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 it's love Your sudden death from above
