To Live Is To Die

This song is my music pick for the week. It is mostly instrumental with a short reading of a poem written by Metallica's late bass player Cliff Burton. The reading starts at about 7:35 if you would like to fast forward to it. Cliff borrowed a single line from another author and expounded on it. It is my favorite poem.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world

These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives

All this I cannot bear to witness any longer

Cannot the kingdom of salvation

Take me home
