Neulich bin ich mal wieder im Wald joggen gewesen und habe dabei wieder alte Lieder von Extol gehört. 
Dabei hab ich gedacht: Wenn man stirbt, werden ja auch immer Lieder auf der Beerdigung gespielt. Weil heute Karfreitag ist und Jesus vor knapp 2000 Jahren damals gekreuzigt wurde, kann man ja auch über das Sterben schreiben.
Zwei Lieder die vielleicht etwas verstörend sind (weil es Metal ist), aber vom Text her tröstlich sind die folgenden:
Extol - Burial
Blessed is he who has got
His transgressions forgiven
And his sins hidden
Blessed is the man whom the Lord
Do not ascribe misdeeds
And is without deceit in his spiritBuried it deep inside
But soon a sprout came forth
It kept on growing
I couldn't hide
When I kept it to myself
Slowly my bones corroded
And my vitality vanished
Like in the summer dryToo many people living this life
Who can take their guilt away?
Their minds are rotting
And causing an endless pain
Soon they are demented and put awayI confessed my sins to You
And did not hide my guilt
I said "I want to confess my misdeeds to You"
And He took away my sin and guiltHe is my sanctuary
Und dann noch ein weiteres, dessen Text mir auch sehr gut gefällt:
Drottnar - Funeral of Funerals
I will watch without eyes
The summoningI will hear without ears
The cheers (the cheers)I will scream without tongue
In ecstasyI will cry without tears
In uttermost joyI will raise my body
Without bonesI will cross land impossible
To traverseI will march without feet
In the grand finaleRejoice, my friend
This is the end
It is the funeral of funeralsRejoice, my friend
This is the end
It is the funeral of funeralsI will lift mountains
With my bare handsAnd I will see all time
From creation to extinctionI will watch my world
Erupt
In sulfurWhile your eyes blinked
Rejoice, my friend
This is the end
It is the funeral of funeralsRejoice, my friend
This is the end
It is the funeral... of funerals
