Mine is and always will be:
Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more.
Terrible grammar but a great song and appropriate for me. :smile:
Since I've liked older stuff from my youth more than the present, anything from "Old Days" by Chicago or "Living in the Past" by Jethro Tull might be appropriate.
Good for nothing, bad in bed
Nobody likes you and you're better off dead
Goodbye, we've all come to say goodbye (goodbye)
Goodbye (goodbye)
Born defeated, died in vain
Super-destructive, you were hooked on pain
Though your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone
:teddyr:

Phantom of the Paradise fan. :thumbup:
I'd probably base mine on "Move To The Moon" by Wes King:
I'm gonna move to the moon,
And build a haven for lost balloons.
I'm gonna move to the moon,
So you can call me the lunar groom.
All this talk of love and care
Is gonna be nothing more than heated air...
Hey hey I ain't never comin' home
Hey hey I just wander my own road
Hey hey I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow

Totally appropriate. "...nothing more than heated air..."

"And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing...."

I'm not sure what determines the appropriate length of an epitaph, so I trimmed my favorite part of this song down to pure essence:
Hey you, you're not their puppet on a string-
You can do everything!
It's true if you really want to,
You can do anything you want.
Just like I do.

Love for Lynott and his Lizzies. God speed, you black emperor.
An epitaph inspired by musicians in a topic about epitaphs inspired by musicians. You just got incepted, bizatches. :cheers:
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
