Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove:
Go with peace and love.
Gather up your tears, keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them
A penny for my thoughts?
Oh no, I’ll sell them for a dollar;
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singing--
Funny when you're dead how people start listening...
(excerpts from If I Die Young, The Band Perry)
If I were to die,
Murdered,
In cold blood tomorrow....
Would you feel sorrow?
Or show Love?
Or would it matter?
(When The Music Stops, Eminem)
You can't be a martyr unless you have a religion--unless you live a religion. You can't have a reason to die without having a reason to live. Death is only as grand of an affair as the life preceding it.
