There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring [making music] to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close us in, we cannot hear it. ~ William Shakespeare
Death Song quotes by William Shakespeare
A Poem by Tecumseh

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
~ Chief Tecumseh ~ ~ Chief Tecumseh
Death Song quotes by ~ Chief Tecumseh
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. ~ W. H. Auden
Death Song quotes by W. H. Auden
This was Jace being brave. Simon thought, brave and snarky because he thought Lilith was going to kill him, and that was the way he wanted to go, unafraid and on his feet. Like a warrior. The way Shadowhunters did. His death song would always be this-jokes and snideness and pretend arrogance, and that look in his eyes that said 'I'm better than you'. Simon just hadn't realized it before. ~ Cassandra Clare
Death Song quotes by Cassandra Clare
Now I end my death song. I give my farewell to mountain and sky. It has been good to be alive. ~ Tad Williams
Death Song quotes by Tad Williams
. . . to my surprise I began to know what The Language was about, not just the part we were singing now but the whole poem. It began with the praise and joy in all creation, copying the voice of the wind and the sea. It described sun and moon, stars and clouds, birth and death, winter and spring, the essence of fish, bird, animal, and man. It spoke in what seemed to be the language of each creature. . . . It spoke of well, spring, and stream, of the seed that comes from the loins of a male creature and of the embryo that grows in the womb of the female. It pictured the dry seed deep in the dark earth, feeling the rain and the warmth seeping down to it. It sang of the green shoot and of the tawny heads of harvest grain standing out in the field under the great moon. It described the chrysalis that turns into a golden butterfly, the eggs that break to let out the fluffy bird life within, the birth pangs of woman and of beast. It went on to speak of the dark ferocity of the creatures that pounce upon their prey and plunge their teeth into it--it spoke in the muffled voice of bear and wolf--it sang the song of the great hawks and eagles and owls until their wild faces seemed to be staring into mine, and I knew myself as wild as they. It sang the minor chords of pain and sickness, of injury and old age; for a few moments I felt I was an old woman with age heavy upon me. ~ Monica Furlong
Death Song quotes by Monica Furlong
People are People still gets played to death on '80s stations. It was our first big break in America. It's not exactly my favorite song. ~ Martin Gore
Death Song quotes by Martin Gore

- Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation ~ Chief Tecumseh Shawnee Nation
Death Song quotes by Chief Tecumseh Shawnee Nation
This wasn't any mere song and dance; here was a bold, blaring declaration howling itself into the empty face of death. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Death Song quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie, Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and-sans End! ~ Omar Khayyam
Death Song quotes by Omar Khayyam
I once was a stranger to grace and to God,
I knew not my danger, and felt not my load;
Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ on the tree,
Jehovah Tsidkenu was nothing to me.

I oft read with pleasure, to sooth or engage,
Isaiah's wild measure and John's simple page;
But e'en when they pictured the blood sprinkled tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu seemed nothing to me.

Like tears from the daughters of Zion that roll,
I wept when the waters went over His soul;
Yet thought not that my sins had nailed to the tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu - 'twas nothing to me.

When free grace awoke me, by light from on high,
Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die;
No refuge, no safety in self could I see -
Jehovah Tsidkenu my Saviour must be.

My terrors all vanished before the sweet Name;
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I came
To drink at the fountain, life giving and free -
Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me.

Jehovah Tsidkenu! my treasure and boast,
Jehovah Tsidkenu! I ne'er can be lost;
In Thee I shall conquer by flood and by field,
My cable, my anchor, my breast-plate and shield!

Even treading the valley, the shadow of death,
This "watchword" shall rally my faltering breath;
For while from life's fever my God sets me free,
Jehovah Tsidkenu, my death song shall be. ~ Robert Murray McCheyne
Death Song quotes by Robert Murray McCheyne
Everyone had a death song, no matter how young or healthy they were, and everyone had a life song, even when they were dying. Everyone was both dying and living at the same time. ~ Veronica Roth
Death Song quotes by Veronica Roth
That is the god's work, spinning threads of death through the lives of mortal men, and all to make a song for those to come ... ~ Homer
Death Song quotes by Homer
The fundamental human truth underpinning 'Ox Mountain Death Song' is that men so very often turn into their fathers. The way that everything gets passed down. ~ Kevin Barry
Death Song quotes by Kevin Barry
Fools, art is a heavy task, more heavy than gold crowns; it's far more difficult to match firm words than armies, they're disciplined troops, unconquered, to be placed in rhythm, the mind's most mighty foe, and not disperse in air. I'd give, believe me, a whole land for one good song, for I know well that only words, that words alone, like the high mountains, have no fear of age or death. ~ Nikos Kazantzakis
Death Song quotes by Nikos Kazantzakis
Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly. ~ Frank Herbert
Death Song quotes by Frank Herbert
Life was fleeting, I had learned, and death guaranteed. There had to be some greater purpose to it than the routine existance of daily life. ~ Moazzam Begg
Death Song quotes by Moazzam Begg
In the cool of evening, in the silent shadowy barn, as we lay watching the sun ducking behind the treetops in the distance, I could hear my heart beating out the rhythm of my love for Frank. And when I rested my head against Frank's warm chest, I could hear his heart beating out the same sweet song for me. ~ John Inman
Death Song quotes by John Inman
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. (from song, Take it Easy) ~ Eagles
Death Song quotes by Eagles
That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death. ~ Emanuel Swedenborg
Death Song quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
If death is no longer a fear, we're really free. Free to take any risk under the sun for Christ and for love. ~ John Piper
Death Song quotes by John Piper
Death never comes at the right time, despite what mortals believe. Death always comes like a thief. ~ Christopher Pike
Death Song quotes by Christopher Pike
Love without risk is an impossibility, like war without death. ~ Alain Badiou
Death Song quotes by Alain Badiou
Buddhists and Christians contrive to agree about death Making death their ideal basis for different ideals. The Communists however disapprove of death Except when practical. ~ William Empson
Death Song quotes by William Empson
The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify by their own lonesome familiarities to this feeling. Ecstasy, even , I felt, with flashes of sudden remembrance, and feeling sweaty and drowsy I felt like sleeping and dreaming in the grass. ~ Jack Kerouac
Death Song quotes by Jack Kerouac
A light elf guardian was in Ancient Scandinavia called a fylgja (follower, guardian spirit.). This was a spirit following you wherever you went, removing obstacles in your way, helping you find your way and avoid getting lost, protecting you from injury and death, from eating poisonous food and drinking bad water, from dangerous predators and so forth. It was your guardian angel. Some claimed that the fylgja even walked before you, in front of you, to spot any traps and harm before it could affect you. They were then, when seen by others walking before you, called vardeger (watchmen, guardians.). ~ Varg Vikernes
Death Song quotes by Varg Vikernes
His song would be our only path, despite any sins w might have committed and any punishments we might deserve. What we believed in, and what we said aloud, we could create before His eyes and in His image. ~ Alice Hoffman
Death Song quotes by Alice Hoffman
Seskin has the gift of song ... his voice has a natural lilt that can't be learned. The combination of musicianship and repertoire make for a rich and satisfying musical experience. ~ Joel Selvin
Death Song quotes by Joel Selvin
Those who do not understand war believe it contention between armies, friend against foe. No. Rather friend and foe duel as one against an unseen antagonist, whose name is Fear, and seek, even entwined in death, to mount to that promontory whose ensign is honor. ~ Steven Pressfield
Death Song quotes by Steven Pressfield
Birth, coupling, death. The more she thinks about it, the more it seems that that is all there is: a wheel turning over and over, moving so fast that sometimes you cannot even make out the spokes. It is a wonder there is any room for poetry. ~ Sarah Dunant
Death Song quotes by Sarah Dunant
Griff entered the cave, sword in hand. He had no desire to frighten Astelle, but he had to be prepared for anything.
She jumped up from her fireside position with a small stifled scream at his entry, then continued to back fearfully towards the shadowed wall.
She was quite alone. Griff could sense no other presence – only hers, and the wonder of it. He sheathed his sword, and gazed upon his long-lost love.
Her hair had lost all trace of colour while still retaining the texture of youth, giving the appearance of white silk. There was a pulsating light of a blue-lilac shade which clung to the crown of her head, reflecting in the hair – a soul – a lost spirit – someone who had loved her. She was almost as pale as death, for Torking took far too much blood from her, too frequently. She was also much thinner than she should have been, but for all of this, she was still the most beautiful sight of his life.
Her body was ravaged with Torking's bites and claw-marks. She was still wearing his old cloak which Griff instantly recognised, though it was little more than a rag, wrapped around her body and tied on one shoulder. Her beautiful dark eyes, those which had so haunted his dreams, seemed over-large in her pale face, as she stared at him with a mingling of shock, disbelief and joy.
Griff took a few hesitant steps towards her, unsure of his reception. 'Astelle?' His voice grated with emotion.
How often had she yearned to hear him speak her name exactly ~ Bernie Morris
Death Song quotes by Bernie Morris
Hush now, my darling
It's all okay
Nothing can hurt you
The world won't end today
Lay down your head
Get some rest
This time will pass
We're coming up on the best
Just give it time
It's all gonna change
But remember it takes time
For things to rearrange
There are happy people in happy places
My darling, out there
One day, it'll change
One day, it'll change ~ Kaitlyn Deann
Death Song quotes by Kaitlyn Deann
Nothing essential happens through death, only through birth and that is the whole trouble - But shouldn't we be speaking of something more important than life and death? ~ Gustav Meyrink
Death Song quotes by Gustav Meyrink
Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day. ~ Seneca.
Death Song quotes by Seneca.
I do a lot of American plays. I've done a lot of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Neil Simon. I was in 'Sisters Rosensweig,' 'Six Degrees of Separation,' all of that stuff. So we're very familiar with America. I did 400 performances of 'Born Yesterday.' I did 700 performances of 'They're Playing Our Song.' ~ Jacki Weaver
Death Song quotes by Jacki Weaver
Cigarettes don't kill people - cancer kills people. ~ Richard M. Weiner
Death Song quotes by Richard M. Weiner
I just went into my studio and started to compile stuff. I was so happy with what was coming out that good momentum just carried over and when I would listen back to some of the riffs and some of the ideas, I was completely happy because I felt like, "wow, this was a breakthrough!" The ideas and the songs were really strong and I couldn't wait to show everybody the stuff. ~ Charlie Benante
Death Song quotes by Charlie Benante
He looked ninety years old for thirty years and then he got the notion that he would die, and did so. ~ Richard Brautigan
Death Song quotes by Richard Brautigan
You will soon be well, if I do not talk you to death. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Death Song quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the [Bob] Dylan song "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." ~ Bryan Ferry
Death Song quotes by Bryan Ferry
I think she by this point has learned that Stark's not specifically responsible for her parents' death - that it's more something that has to do with him stopping ... I think there's even a reference to him stopping his selling of weapons because they cause damage. ~ Elizabeth Olsen
Death Song quotes by Elizabeth Olsen
It is not in our choice to spread the gospel or not. It is our death if we do not. ~ Peter Forsyth
Death Song quotes by Peter Forsyth
If I die prematurely I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success. ~ Samuel Butler
Death Song quotes by Samuel Butler
We today can recognize the antiquity of astrology in words such as disaster, which is Greek for "bad star," influenza, Italian for (astral) "influence"; mazeltov, Hebrew - and, ultimately, Babylonian - for "good constellation," or the Yiddish word shlamazel, applied to someone plagued by relentless ill-fortune, which again traces to the Babylonian astronomical lexicon. According to Pliny, there were Romans considered sideratio, "planet-struck." Planets were widely thought to be a direct cause of death. Or consider consider: it means "with the planets," evidently a prerequisite for serious reflection. ~ Carl Sagan
Death Song quotes by Carl Sagan
But you no longer heard the song. You had gone away, my boy, into your tale. Did you know that you would never turn into a fish, that you would never reach Issyk-Kul, or see the white ship, or say to it: "Hello, white ship, it's I"?
You swam away. ~ Chingiz Aitmatov
Death Song quotes by Chingiz Aitmatov
She's beautiful in a dramatic, romantic way. Her face could inspire gothic novels from long ago. If Helen of Troy's face could launch a thousand ships, Violet McQueen's face could launch a thousand stories, all filled with lust, heartache, and death. ~ Karina Halle
Death Song quotes by Karina Halle
Mediocrity is Death. ~ Suleman Abdullah
Death Song quotes by Suleman Abdullah
May every living soul know eternal rest exist. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Death Song quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
There's songs that could either be taken as a conversation between two people, like "The Privateers," or "Why," from a much earlier record. Or "Glass Figurine." That's my version of a relationship song. ~ Andrew Bird
Death Song quotes by Andrew Bird
I am not Death. I am killing; I am the verb, I am the action, I am the performance. ~ John Scalzi
Death Song quotes by John Scalzi
I do not wish to die: but I care not if I were dead.
[Lat., Emori nolo: sed me esse mortuum nihil aestimo.] ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death Song quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It looks like fallen petals, and it looks like rain. It looks like the sounds the birds make at dawn. It looks like the aisle of grocery stores when a song I love suddenly begins to play overhead, and I cannot help but dance a little dance. It looks like a sigh, a kiss, an unmade bed. It looks like Cheerios in a white bowl with a bit of silence on the side. It looks like a plain vanilla cupcake in white paper, a dance with the wind, pink toenails, warm socks. It looks like a fire against the cold of winter, and a deep lake cool against a summer sky. It looks like chick flicks, books that make you cry, and all the candles blown out on the first try. ~ D. Smith Kaich Jones
Death Song quotes by D. Smith Kaich Jones
Death when to death a death by death hath given
Then shall be op't the long shut gates of heaven.
[Mors, mortis morti mortem nisi morte dedisset (dedisses).] ~ Thomas Heywood
Death Song quotes by Thomas Heywood
The constant bombardment and the randomness with which death scythed us down had exhausted us... ~ Carsten Jensen
Death Song quotes by Carsten Jensen
Who's that with you?' Stephen asked.
'Death,' I said.
Edward bowed.
'Trust you to bring death to the ball, ma petite. ~ Laurell K. Hamilton
Death Song quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
By the Grace of God, I am cured of the disease of egotism, and Death no longer terrifies me. ~ Guru Arjan
Death Song quotes by Guru Arjan
From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make
the stones weep. ~ Robert Jordan
Death Song quotes by Robert Jordan
In your dream you call for Chaplain Charlie. You met the Navy chaplain when you interviewed him for a feature article you were writing. Chaplain Charlie was an amateur magician. With his magic, Chaplain Charlie entertained Marines in sick bays and distributed spiritual tourniquets to men who were still alive, but weaponless. To brutal, godless children Chaplain Charlie spoke about how God is merciful, despite appearances, about how the Ten Commandments lack detail because when you're writing on stone tablets with lightning bolts you've got to be brief, about how the Free World will conquer Communism with aid of God and a few Marines, and about free fish. One day a Vietnamese child booby-trapped Chaplain Charlie's black bag of tricks. Chaplain Charlie reached in and pulled out a bright ball of death... ~ Gustav Hasford
Death Song quotes by Gustav Hasford
I watched the sky as it turned from silver to grey to the colour of rain. Even the clouds tried to look the other way. ~ Markus Zusak
Death Song quotes by Markus Zusak
But let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety; and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them. ~ John Owen
Death Song quotes by John Owen
Everything you do,
do with great love.
Make it a song of your soul,
and beauty of your heart. ~ Debasish Mridha
Death Song quotes by Debasish Mridha
Only death can seperate me from the wrestling world. ~ Alexander Nderitu
