“There are worse things than dying with a song on your lips.”
“There were worse things than dying, and those worse things happened to the people you left behind.”
“The song was born on her breathe and died at her lips.”
“Because there was only one thing worse than dying. And that was knowing you were going to die. And where. And how. (“Death Ship”)”
“The only thing worse than feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.”
“And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.”
