Megadeth - Sudden Death Lyrics






His wicked 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

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

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 wars, 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

[Chorus]

Megadeth Sudden Death Comments
  1. B.... ....

    It’s just a testament to Dave’s endless talent that this song barely gets played or talked about etc. Most bands would kill for something like this. Dave is on magical mother fucker 🤘

  2. M.... B....

    4:06 one of best solos of Chris <3

  3. j.... m....

    Leads. Not solos. Solo means no other instruments playing.

  4. M.... C....

    Why does this song sound like the United States of America?!

  5. A.... X....

    GH WOR,GH WT,and GH3 Brought me here

  6. K.... M....

  7. K.... ....

  8. L.... *....

  9. S.... S....

    Vengo por el meme

  10. D.... ....

    Kick cancer's ass Dave! 🤘

  11. M.... F....

    Reading the lyrics, most of the content seems like it is very much inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Especially the chorus and the "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."

  12. C.... V....

    How did this vid get like, 1 million views or something while the same vid by Megaseths official channel get only 135k views?

  15. P.... M....

    Shawn Drover is so bad ass o. The drums

  16. T.... H....

    God removed Satan from heaven as a bolt of lighting after he was defeated by Michael. Jesus saw him get kicked out along with a 3rd of the angels. God is almighty, why serve Satan? He does not love you.

  17. D.... G....

  25. R.... E....

    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

    pulls up the Reaper Solo*

    The world is like "Is this solo even humanly possible?" (⊙⊙)(☉_☉)(⊙⊙)

  26. F.... 2....

    The album is not bad as people say

  27. I.... P....

    HIS WICKED HIGHNESS BORN FROM DISASTER

  28. J.... L....

    Confusion .. metallica

  29. S.... J....

    Im so sorry but Megadeth é muito melhor que Metallica

  30. D.... P....

    A wild solo had appeared!

  31. A.... S....

    R.I.P Daniel
    You showed me this song 3 days before you passed. Now for you I'm listening to this everyday for you. Miss you hoe. Till next time brother.

  32. D.... D....

    Kirk Hammett: ok

  33. A.... C....

    Oh no!!.....This is all that Mustaine's doing.

  34. K.... B....

    I can't believe that there are people who hate this album.

  35. W.... ....

    One of their best songs

  36. a.... ....

    Now picture Jack Black playing this song while batting the devil in Tenacious D....and now you can't un-see (hear) Jack Blacks voice. 😂😂😂

    You're welcome

  37. B.... ....

    Can you guys name me some songs that gives you the same feeling as this?

    B.... ....

    Listen to Rival Summers m8

    B.... ....

    ´´If you only knew´´ or ´´tired eyes´´ ;)

  38. F.... ....

    This song is too fucking hard to sing and play guitar at the same time lol I can hardly keep up with Mustaine.

  39. M.... P....

    A banda Megadeth eu assisti num show no Brasil em 1996,de lá para cá a banda mudou bastante,mas o som de guitarra ainda é emocionante e muito bom.2018

  40. M.... P....

    A banda Megadeth e assiste nos final de 1996

  41. C.... R....

    Laser Canon fire! That's what's on my Ship. Now That I'm Captin, CaptinHard.

  42. S.... M....

    Listen to this on 2x speed it’s great 😂 sounds like a ragtime beat during the verses

  43. A.... H....

    Idk but this version sound so bland compared to the Guitar Hero version

    A.... H....

    It's because all the parts you play are louder and more clearly defined. GH actually covers most "original" songs, so it can fit the game better. However I do not think this was the case with the vanilla GH Warriors Megadeth songs.

    A.... H....

    @Carl Spud actually the gh team only covered song on gh1/gh2/ghr80, in all other games they just do a different mix however, well, what i feel with this song has happened for me with other songs so

    A.... H....

    @Angel Huentemil hey you do you. A mix is still not the original, which I personally enjoy the most.

  44. S.... ....

    The transition into the chorus is just so satisfying to hear

  45. J.... ....

    Why instead of a Metallica vs megadeth war. We just make fun of pop music. Instead of making the metal community worse we just make fun of pop music

  46. A.... S....

    Too many solos for one song .

  47. M.... B....

    THE INTRO HOLY FUCKKKKK

  48. t.... k....

    When ever I hear this I think call of duty modern warfare 3.survival mode. On lockdown.the hardest level

  49. T.... T....

    idk if symphony of destruction or this is at the top any more D:

  50. b.... ....

    This doesn't sound like Chris Pratt in Parks And Recreation

  51. A.... ....

    Seriously one of the best Metal songs.

  52. U.... E....

    Megadeth-SUDDEN DEATH. WTF 😂😂😂😂😂

  53. J.... B....

    Min. 2:39 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  54. M.... S....

    This is actually the studio version. The actual Sudden Death (The one from GH:WoR) sounds different, especially in the intro solo.

  55. R.... L....

    what a fucking tune

  56. K.... ....

    I have 17 years and i love megadeth

  57. A.... T....

    *This >>>>> One Winged Angel!*

    *Fight me.*

  58. Y.... L....

    they have to play this fucking song in concert , seriously he's awesome

  59. X.... ....

    Extended version is better lmao

  60. C.... N....

    This song is a hidden gem

  61. J.... N....

    I like the Guitar Hero version more for its production. It sounded like a leftover from 'Endgame' which was a way better album. If this song had been on that album instead, it would've been ever more kick-ass.

  62. e.... ....

    2:40-2:55 the best fucking guitar solo I hav ever heard in my life

  63. Z.... ....

    Gate of Puppets vs Unlimited Solos.

  64. P.... K....

    Uma porcaria

  65. O.... D....

    This is definely my song

  66. m.... ....

    Can't find a live recording of this

  67. s.... l....

    2:51 why is different unlike guitar hero 6?

  68. E.... W....

    Go fuck your self

  69. O.... D....

    Your sudden death from above

  70. E.... R....

    Wasn't Chris Brodrick in the band during this album?

  71. E.... R....

    It has nothing to do with this song or album but am I the only person who didn't really like Dystopia all that much?

  72. m.... ....

    Masterpiece

  73. R.... B....

    They just keep getting better!

  74. T.... D....

    Ajit Pai boss battle music.

  75. R.... ....

    I’m gonna play this on repeat in my headphones when I shoot up a school.. lol

    R.... ....

    That was a joke tho

  76. i.... ....

    so much nostalgia.

  77. T.... ....

    This shit is probably one of the most epic songs in Megadeth, no shit why they are not playing it live because it's impossible to shit

  78. K.... J....

    This song. Wow. Just reignites the passion for this band

  82. J.... S....

  83. t.... c....

    guitar hero warriir of rock

  84. k.... ....

    2:39 always makes my dick hard... always
