Last Days : the Soundtrack

.
Thought this was a good contender to be included in the companion CD to Brother Athos' book "A Little Guide to Your Last Days"

. . . to quote the ol' Bawlmer Catechism on why God made us

"God made me to know Him, love Him,
and serve Him in this world,
and
to be happy with Him for ever in the next.

Learning How to Die - Jon Foreman

I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone
She says, I love you
I'm gonna miss you
And your songs

And I said, please
Don't talk about the end
Don't talk about how
Every living thing goes away
She said, friend

All along I thought
I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry
But really
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die

Hey everyone
I've got nowhere to go
The grave is lazing me
He takes our body slow

And I said, please
Don't talk about the end
Don't talk about how
Every living thing goes away
I said, friend,
All along I thought
I was learning how to take

How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry
But really
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die
Die, die
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die
