Another one that hurts a lot.

Gonna go listen to Badmotorfinger.
I saw that in a headline. Turns out that they closed with Slaves and Bulldozers with lyrics from "In My Time of Dying."

According to the setlist, which was posted online by fans, the final song of the performance was the 1991 classic Slaves And Bulldozers.

But the live version the band had taken to performing midway through contains a refrain from the death fixated gospel song In My Time Of Dying, which was famously covered by Led Zeppelin.

The songs lyrics contain the phrase: "In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn. All I want for you to do is take my body home. Well, well, well, so I can die easy."
