Best Death Song Poems
Swan SongThe passionate young man on his way to his love
Walked by a lake carrying a snow-white dove
Inside his shirt he held it close to his heart
When he heard a song - an enchanting work of art
The melody was captivating, full of sorrow -
The cries of a soul for whom there’s no tomorrow
An unknown fear gripped...

Tomorrow Is Our LastTomorrow is our last,
To be free;
So let us make it last,
You and me
Yesterday’s deeds are done
Let us go
We gave our bravest son
Let him go
I wish upon this star
Every night
To meet my avatar
Golden light
She lifts my gaze skyward
Bound to rest;
Bitter tears fell...

I Wait For the End and Sing My Death SongAs I leave you today Im broken hearted
My body dies and I become one of the departed
The taste of death sickens me in every way
All the colors I know now are black and gray
With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song
Painting my lifes...

Death Song-Cry of a CougarDeath song cry of a cougar
I have seen death as a strange friend
Death has shown me that life does not end
But what I see is meant for me to prepare myself when I leave this life eternally
I have once laughed at death
And cried tears of blood
Yet i am still called to battle
Wallowing in its self...

Insomniamidnight minutes tick away.
lay awake, sleepless dismay.
a pillow, refuge for an empty head.
time, a book that cannot be read.
simple sheets, enclose around.
I hear a very distant sound..
WAKE UP!!!
there, alone a restless mind.
sleep, a haven I cannot find.
close your eyes, play a game.
I think my head has gone insane.
snakes and spiders, completely surround.
I invision leaving this...

True BrotherhoodThe helmsman sings a merry song:
Haec est vera fraternas,
and downs a cup of something strong,
Hick, vera, hick, hick, fraternas.
The sailors dance a lusty jig,
forsaking sails, crow's nest and rig.
Young princes and their ladies fair
join in the drunken helmsman's air:
Haec est vera fraternas.
Commoners with nobles prance.
Friars and laymen, how they dance!
The jester sports a broken lance,
a...

Pledge Allegiance To the LambI never really thought about it until I was listening to a song
But that's why Cassie Bernall is dead today
Because she was making a stand to pledge allegiance to the lamb
And what she said woke up a lot of people of all ages!!!
She just said one word
Oh but the impact that word had on the...

The Hallelujah Cry“It's not a cry you can hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.”
This is my favorite quote from the song Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright because it is a sad yet uplifting song that tells about the trouble of the world in their attempt of...

Very Bad NewsAnna left early from Soho
But still she got caught in the storm
Due at 5:30, it’s quarter to ten
She should never have driven alone
Maybe she’s parked at a rest stop
Or maybe some roadside motel
Or maybe we never will see her again
You know sometimes it’s too close to tell
Why the fates change the rules
In the middle of...

Lyric
Still On PatrolCan you hear the whispers
brought on by the wind storming?
Carried true by the harpers,
the tale the howls are forming?
Came a knock at the farmer's door,
a mailed fist with a fate to turn.
A sob, a wail, a call to war,
a boy, a son, home soon to yearn.
Soon a soldier strode from youth,
to the beat of the...
