    Gateways of Bereavement by Katatonia

    I stand as I cry

    Mourning in the silent rain

    Death will light my burden

    Endless is my sorrow

    Gateways so dark

    All these years of dying

    Gone are dreams of velvet voices

    I am you, we were one

    Vast are fields I walk

    Where sorrow never dies

    The sky unites with the blackened rain

    Summon with my tears

    Now descend on winterwings

    My withering soul..

    Let me die,

    Gateways of Bereavement

    A temple of guilt

    Falling deep

    Embraced in grief

    My withering soul

    Let me die

    Farewell life and all I died for

    Now my time is over on Earth

    Another journey ha begun

    Alone I died, not praying for mercy

    Nor praying for salvation

    A lonely journey in a darkened dream

    Time has come to spread my wings

    Slow....

    descending from the silent sky

    Death comes to take me away

    And from the gateways you hear my cry...

    ... I love you ...

    Where Corals Lie from Sea Pictures by Sir Edward Elgar

    The deeps have music soft and low

    —When winds awake the airy spry,

    It lures me, lures me on to go

    —And see the land where corals lie.

    —The land, the land, where corals lie.

    By mount and steed, by lawn and rill,

    —When night is deep, and moon is high,

    That music seeks and finds me still,

    —And tells me where the corals lie.

    —And tells me where the corals lie.

    Yes, press my eyelids close, 'tis well,

    Yes, press my eyelids close, 'tis well,

    —But far the rapid fancies fly

    The rolling worlds of wave and shell,

    —And all the lands where corals lie.

    Thy lips are like a sunset glow,

    —Thy smile is like a morning sky,

    Yet leave me, leave me, let me go

    —And see the land where corals lie.

    —The land, the land, where corals lie.

    Preferably the version sung by Dame Janet Baker.

    I would most likely want to go with a classical piece by Mozart...his Requiem "Lacrimosa"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkT07TP-mo

    ...but then since most people close to me know my sometimes demented sense of humor, would find it necessary to throw in something like "Gloom, Despair & Agony On Me"
