Dan Crossdeath Song by Dancross

deathsong is a celebration of the human death experience written as much as most of the rest of the al about a rejection of religious values
it is a profoundly atheist song.
the prospect of death & dying has been used as a form of religious/ state control for so long that a repudiation of fear & an acceptance that ‘we’ve all got to get there in the end’ sounds like heresy.
in fact it’s just normal.
no afterlife- no anxiety.

lyrics
death song
deathsong

take a long last look at me
i’m drifting out towards the open sea
yes i’m somewhere round the river bend
and i couldn’t be more happy.

i know about my own demise
so wipe a tear baby from your eyes
cos we’ve all got to get there in the end
now who to invite to the party.

i know i won’t fly into the air
no guardian angel’s gonna meet me there
just make sure that my grave’s kept clean
when you lay my body low.

there’s a big storm coming up ahead
so take a deep breath & let it flow
you see i’m really not afraid of death
it’s gonna work out fine i know.

i’ve heard about your jesus christ
and i’ve met a lot of fakes
i’ve even heard about a place ed paradise
& how it’s crawling with oil sheiks.

so honey loose your demons on me now
i don’t believe in evil anyhow
you see there’s nothing owed
cos i’ve paid in full
& our work together is done.
i don’t want no holy joe
you can hang on to your rosary
on the day i finally let go
death will have no dominion over me.

let it flow
let it flow
let it flow
and my song at last is sung
