From Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia
"To Live Is To Die" is an instrumental song found on Metallica's fourth major label release ...And Justice For All.
It is a tribute to their former bassist Cliff Burton who was killed in a bus crash in 1986. Burton actually wrote the riffs for the song a few months before he died. Though the track is considered an instrumental track, it contains a few lyrics near the end of the song written by Burton which are spoken by James Hetfield.
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
