Sudden Death Lyrics

Cover art for Sudden Death lyrics by Megadeth

While alone and left abandoned (in a proson cell) With the sentence You've been handed (guilty) All your angels will ignore you (god cant save you now) As your life flashes before you Even still you keep on fighting (struggling and resisting) Through the thunder and the lightning And now Heaven sends it's love (heaven being the guillotine blade) Your sudden death from above

in essence its a song about a king who has commited a crime and is sentenced to death by guillotine
