Depends on how you read into songs sometimes..

"Suicide and Other Comforts" - Cradle of Filth.
"Tattered and Torn" - Slipknot. (To an extent.)
"Wait and Bleed" - Slipknot.

Wow. I thought I could have come up with more. =/

A Perfect Circle - A Stranger (for personal reasons)
The Cure - Where The Birds Always Sing (for personal reasons)

Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumours (it's about suicide and death)

Oh god >.>....

That disgusts me, I'm sorry. But.... that's ... just.... I don't even know what to say.

Anyways..... there are PLENTY of songs about death. There is even a genre of music called DEATH metal.

Wait And Bleed is about death? Dude, I've heard that song a billion times and I never knew what it was about _dry.gif

Ohio Is For Lovers - Hawthorne Heights
Basically anything from Cradle of Filth?
Day That I Die - Good Charlotte
My Immortal - Evanescence

Dude, try Death Metal like JlIaTMK said.
angel-roh
Hm....

Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is for Lovers. I don't know if that song is about death. But the music video sounded like it. It started with a girl, then an old grandma.

But anyways... how about

Chemical Romance - "Helena"
It's a good song and when he sings it... he cries. I don't know if that song is about a death song but it looked like it because of his music video. It's a great song for someone who is dead too.

Yes..

Short meaning of "Wait and Bleed": A man dreams that he is dying in a bathtub from cuts to the wrist. As the song progresses, he faces reality (or wakes up) and realizes he isn't dreaming. So he awaits his death. Hence the title, he waits and bleeds.
Luster Soldier
Cradle of Filth- For those who died (return to the sabbat mix)
Alice in Chains- Rain when I die
The Cure- The same deep waters as you
Nirvana- I hate myself and want to die

Led Zeppelin - stairway to heaven

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe

Well, no.
Songs like "Surfacing" and "People = Shit" and "The Heretic Anthem" are their pissed off songs. They're not about death.
Some of their other songs are about going insane.
"Iowa" and "Vermilion Part One" and "Vermilion Part Two" are kind of... really twisted love songs.

So, no. I realize you said "j/k," but not all of their songs are about death, suicide, self-mutilation, homicide, or anything like that.

That's a good one.
There are many. The first thing that came to my mind was songs by SOTY, though none of them are actually about dying.
Gods Of Guns

i'm pretty sure it's about suicide.

Sorry for posting on a dead board, but I just wanted to point out that Ohio Is For Lovers is kind of about death.

"Cut my wrists and black my eyes"
"You never stop until my final breath is gone"
"Spare me just 3 last words"

Lines from that song. Kind of refer to death. The video has nothing to do with it. *shuts up* pinch.gif
