Sudden Death "Come Away With Me"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Suddenly", aka: "Sudden Death"
** Recorded: 1972, released: 1995
Come away with me
Come away
To a land of peace and love
You and I
are the same and one
Together we can live for all time
Why must it be this way?
For you and me
True love in a world of pain
Can make it whole
My world is filled
With unquestionable doubt
And I don't know right from wrong
Out there is a place
Where the way you live
Is the way you feel
And the way you feel is love
Come away with me
Come away
[To a land of peace and love] 2x

Sudden Death "It's Lonely Here"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Suddenly", aka: "Sudden Death"
** Recorded: 1972, released: 1995
Love
Can take a man
Can break a man
Can make a life seem gone
It offers joy
I'd bring you joy
If I only could
Peace can warm your heart
Your broken heart
And make each day worthwhile
So take your fear
Deny your fear
Please look at me and smile
Pain had called for corps
It always comes
It'll leave a scar and fly
Drove you away
Don't stay away
Come back to me, I cry
Love is what I offer you
Peace is what I offer you
Pain is what I'd help you through
My life- your helping hand
My mind forever thinks of you
Longing just to hear from you
Reaching for that touch of you
Watching for some sign
[So cast aside] 2x
[Your fears and doubts] 2x
[And turn your thoughts] 2x
[Towards me] 2x
[I'm waiting here] 2x
[It's lonely here] 2x

Sudden Death "The ZOO"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Suddenly", aka: "Sudden Death"
** Recorded: 1972, released: 1995
When I was a young man
And I saw the pain around me
I didn't realize
That it was all a game they had planned
When I was young and innocent
I didn't understand
Just how strange it would be
When I became a man
When I was a young boy
I could see all the goodness around me
But I grew older and wise
And I could see more clearly
[The truth] 2x
When I was young and innocent
I didn't understand
Just how strange it could be
When I became a man
[Waking, watching
Looking at the clock and wondering why] 2x
[Look at all the people in the ZOO] 2x
In the ZOO
Why?
[Tell me] 3x
[Why?] 3x
Does it have to be this way?
Look at all the people in the ZOO
Look at all the people, what they do
[In the ZOO] 2x
The ZOO
[Why?] 4x
[Tell me] 2x
Look at all the people in the ZOO
Look at all the people, what they do
In the ZOO
Look
[At you] 3x
Look at yourself, child
Waking, watching
Looking at the clock and wondering why
Look at all the people in the ZOO
Look at all the people, what they do
In the ZOO
The ZOO

Sudden Death "Road Back Home"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Suddenly", aka: "Sudden Death"
** Recorded: 1972, released: 1995
Lost my way, going and find road back home
Well, I've cursed my fate for having come so far alone
The sky is dark turning black, the one ahead
Sense is dead located where he finally lays
Silence calling all around, thickens wind still
Broken by even breathing cutting through the mist
Darkness closing in from the side, light is streaking road
Isolated in a world I know does not exist
Now a glow appears below and brings horizon
A golden hour of rising sun restores my presence
When it turns away, I move a way I should follow
Guiding me out of the dark into tomorrow
Silence calling all around, thickens wind still
Broken by even breathing cutting through the mist
Darkness closing in from the side, light is streaking road
Isolated in a world I know does not exist
Now a void appears, lit by something, glow
Disappearing in the distance, twisting through the night
Unaware of what I'm doing, I'm moving in a daze
Passing through the dismal dark, falling into the night
[Into the night] 3x
Night, night
See if I ever go out again
See if I learn by listen
See if I go and visit a friend wondering what I'm missing
See if I ever love and return to anyone else but you
Nothing I do another night like that, I don't know what I'll do
Lost my way, going and find road back home
I've cursed my fate for having come so far alone
Back at home, I drift to sleep, missing the scene
Just to see what I feel within my dream

Sudden Death "My Time Is Over"
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Suddenly", aka: "Sudden Death"
** Recorded: 1972, released: 1995
My name is unimportant, but listen to what I say
As I explain what drove me on and brought me here today
Alone I lived these long ideas, no one to call a friend
Now my time's wasted, it's come to an end
When I call this place home
I don't know that's the memory's game
Gotta find the answer
Or learn about the things that are true, are true
Six years ago I left this town, never to come back
The past looked so good to me, turned my future black
Trials went, my sentence long, penalty hard to bear
Mother passed away last fall, nobody left to care
[My time is over] 2x
My, baby, my time is over
My time is over
The secret lies within me now, no one will ever know
Mind has reached some places that my body's never been
The worst of all is over now, I want peace in my soul
Righteous feeling that I know come back again
My time is over
My time, time, time, time is over
Where the answer?
The answer can never be asked
Will you give the answer?
My time is over
Learn about the things that are true
