Take My Hand (Together We'll Fly) -- A Sandman Death Mix
Death stands before me today
like the hope of health for a sick man,
like stepping out into the open air after
a time of suffering.
1. (Don't Fear) the Reaper ~ Blue Oyster Cult
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
[We can be like they are]
Come on baby
[Don't fear the reaper]
Baby take my hand
For some folks, death is a release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.
2. Letting Go ~ Project Divinity
{Instrumental}
3. Angel ~ Sarah MacLachlan
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
Death stands before me today
like the end of a long rain,
like the homecoming of a soldier
a long time at war.
4. Call Me ~ Shinedown
I finally put it all together,
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
I had to say goodbye for the last time
She is dead.
You are alive.
So live.
5. With a Little Help (From my Friends) ~ The Beatles
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Maybe she really was death. I mean, it would be really nice if death was somebody, and not just nothing, or pain, or sadness. And it would be really good if death could be someone like Didi. Somebody funny, and friendly, and nice. And maybe just a tiny bit crazy. And I wish I could see her again. I wish she wasn't dead. But if it means dying first... Well... I suppose I can wait. For a while.
6. To Where You Are ~ Josh Groban
**Apologies for the instrumental version** See download area for more information
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
7. O Death ~ Ralph Stanley
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
I'm not blessed, or merciful. I'm just me. I've got a job to do, and I do it. Listen: even as we're talking, I'm there for old and young, innocent and guilty, those who die together and those who die alone. I'm in cars and boats and planes; in hospitals and forests and abbatoirs.
8. My Boy Builds Coffins ~ Florence + the Machines
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day,
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play.
He's made one for himself,
One for me too.
One of these days he'll make one for you.
9. Seasons in the Sun ~ Terry Jacks
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
10. Dust in the Wind ~ Kansas
Now, don't hang on
nothing last forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away
And all your money
won't another minute buy
... you've got to learn to throw things away eventually.
11. Never Let Go ~ Josh Groban
Forced apart by time and sand.
Take a step and take my hand.
And don't let it go.
Never let go.
12. Ethereal Awakening ~ Frozen Silence
{Instrumental}
When the first living thing existed, I was there waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights, and lock the universe behind me as I leave.
