"Skylines and Turnstiles" by My Chemical Romance.
Great song, written about the events of 09/11/01.
The man who wrote the song was in NYC during the attacks, and watched everything...

I listened to The Beatles' White Album last night, and Yer Blues is about thinking about death. Does that count ??

I do like this song, there are some good songs on that album - but really the whole MCR back catalogue is themed on death - got a bit boring when you're not quite as death-obsessed as Gerard Way.

Nas - N.Y. State of Mind from Illmatic
I'm not sure if the entire song it about either sleep or death, but it has that famous lyric:
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Which I believe is a reference to the movie Scarface.
