I have something to say, better to burn out than fade away-- Neil Young, Joe Elliot, the Kurgan, and Kurt Cobain.
I've been to the edge, and there I stood and looked down. You know I've lost a lot friends there baby, I got no time to mess around. -- Eddie
But my favorite, easily:
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms---Mark Knofler
