Post the lyrics of the song you want played at your funeral

*KirbyPunk* · 07-26-2009, 01:52 PM

This is a pseudo-game. Just post the artist, band name, and lyrics of the song you want played at your funeral.

For me, I want Autumn Leaves Revisited by Thursday played. Here are the lyrics:

The leaves will fall
And so will you
When you do, bury me under them too
Seconds pass; we’ll make it through
Eventually we all go home
It won’t be long
It won’t be long

We walk along the wire tied between horizons
You close your eyes like it’s nothing at all
Throughout the rise and fall, everything, everything
Changes, I will be here when you die

It won’t be long
It won’t be long
Until we find our way home

Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?
Did a violin swell those circles under your eyes?
Did you play the part straight, like a marcher?
Get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling
Did the drums in the streets make the people dance?
Or fall to their knees as the sound?
Knock the leaves from the trees
As they fall from the branch, the look beautiful
As they hung in the air

Spinning around
Did you float in the air?
Spinning around

There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night
And the leaves don’t abandon their trees to the light
Where the skies always clear
And the summer never ends

Won’t you take me there?

The leaves will fall
So will you
When you do, bury me
Under them too
Seconds pass; we’ll make it through

Eventually we all are going home

Shining Star by Earth Wind and Fire. Great song.

Yeah, hey
When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far, yeah
When you wish upon a dream
Life aint always what it seems, oh yeah
Once you see your light so clear
In the sky so very dear

Youre a shinig star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be
That you can truly be

Shining star come into view
Shine is watchful light on you, yeah
Gives you strength to carry on
Make your body big and strong
Future roads for you to pass
Love to watch your mug past

The shining star, lucky you
The sinful redeeming shall be true
On an adventure of the sun, yeah
Yeah its all awake and just begun
Yeah, thought I had to stir the mood
Thats it now I got my own oh yeah

So if you find yourself in need
Why dont you listen to his words of heat
Be a child free of sin
Be some place, yes I can
Words of wisdom: yes I can

Youre a shinig star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be
Youre a shinig star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be

Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be

Oh God. This is a hard question. I suppose in the end I would go with..

Fade To Black -Metallica

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye
Good-bye..

(Amazing how they can make that into a 7 minute song. x3)
(No, It's not about suicidal thoughts. It's about the sadness they felt when all of their equipment was stolen from their van. I'm being serious. o.o)

*CountryWiiBoy13* · 07-26-2009, 03:33 PM

Hm. I'd say When I Get Where I'm Going by Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton.

When I get where I'm goin on the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
Gonna land beside a lion
Run my fingers through his mane
Where I might find out what it's like to ride a drop of rain

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There will be only happy tears
I will share the sins and struggles I have carried all these years
And I'll keep my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

Gonna walk with my grandaddy
And he'll match me step-for-step
And I'll tell him how I missed him every minute sinced he left
And then I'll hug his neck

Yeah, when I get where I'm goin
There will be only happy tears
I will share the sins and struggles I have carried all these years
And I'll keep my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
This world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm goin
And I see my makers face
I'll stand forever in the Light of His amazing grace

Yeah, when I get where I'm goin
But when I get where I'm goin
There will be only happy tears
(Halleuha)
I will love and have no fear
(When I get where I'm goin)
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin

Ah... I'd want Glory to the Brave by Hammerfall.

Snow is falling down on this glorious land
Colours fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sing, they cry their winter tears
Endless mourning days will turn to years

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Every solemn moment I will treasure inside
Even though it's hard to understand
That a silent wind can blow the candle out
Taking everything leaving the pain far behind

You call out my name, but your voice is fading
Into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway ( so close )
Far beyond that shining star
I know you'll find what you've been fighting for
Far beyond that shining star

Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these Souls
Make'em live forever in the heart of the bold
So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again
When my time has come to fall from grace

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

YEAAAAAAAA!

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

I don't know why. Just sounds... right for a funeral.

Say Hello To Heaven by Temple of The Dog <3

Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I keep hearing in my head
Words never listen
And teachers never learn
Now Im warm from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
And he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me
So say hello to heaven

New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer
Shes got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, you better seek out
Another road cause this one has
Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things well never do
So I blow out the candle, and
I put you to bed
Since you cant say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
Theres just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven

But I want a guitar solo at 2:54. I said this to my mom in the car when I first heard the song.

YoshiDude101 · 07-28-2009, 05:04 PM

Bon Jovi.Slippery when wet.Living on a prayer.

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough,so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,she brings home her pay
For love-for love

She says: We've a hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot

Woahhhhh we're half way there
Whoahhoh living on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it-I swear
Whoahhoh living on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk-so tough it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in night
Tommy whispers:Baby it's okay,someday

We've got a hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot

Whoaaaaa we're half way there
Whoaaaoh living on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it I swear
Whoaaaoh living on a prayer
living on a prayer

We've got a hold on ready or not
You will live for the fight when it's all you've got

Whoaaaaa we half way there
Whoaaaoh living on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make I swear
Whoaaaoh living on a prayer.
