Need help selecting a song for Death Note AMV

Hey,

I've been looking for a song that has to do with murder and/or something to do with the plot.

The following are the songs I am not looking for:

- ANY linkin park songs (they're great, but it's getting unoriginal)
- Getting away with murder - Papa Roach (I've used it)
- Any slow songs

Thanks in advance. I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I moved this here as it's more appropriate than in General Music.

Okay, sorry about that.

Miss Murder- AFI

"Killing me softly" I forgot who it's by

"It ends tonight" by all american rejects
the lyrics say something like "when darkness turns to Light, it ends tonight"

Last Day of 1888 by Kids in the Way
It would have to be done from a perspective other than Light, though, as it's sung from the viewpoint of the person being murdered.

Kids in the Way wrote:Crowded streets and the memories of all the faces you see
you don't know who I am when you're looking at me.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
It's playing with our eyes.

Sharpened tongues and the loaded guns of all the forunate sons;
you're the jack, back in black, ripping air from our lungs.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
The shadow's playing...

I'd cut my heart out of my chest and attach it to my sleeve.
If I thought that you would think differently of me.
I'd cut my heart out of my chest and attach it to my sleeve,
If I thought you'd think differently.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing...

Hang me tonight in the false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, it's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
It's playing with our eyes.
The shadows play with our eyes.

Also, this song isn't actually about murder, but you might could twist it to work.
Regime Change by Disciple

Disciple wrote:Build it up, I’ll tear it down.
My finger in the strings connected to your hands,
I dance the mockery, a theme of decadence.
Now I, I'm sinking in this violence;
This time, emancipation is my right.

This is what I want, for you to die;
This is what I want, to be alive.

Scene of complacency, an apathetic mind,
But when it’s brought to light, I see a king on a borrowed throne.
Right now, the violence taking over,
This time, regimes are changing in my mind.

This is what I want, for you to die;
This is what I want, to be alive.

And I’m so sorry, my old friend, I’m leaving you tonight;
So caught in this moment, the last breath of your life.

So sorry!

This is what I want (I'm sinking in this violence), for you to die (emancipation is my right);
This is what I want (the violence taking over), to be alive (regimes are changing in my mind).

So sorry! Try to understand! [x2]
So sorry! Understand!
So sorry!

That last song is flipping awesome.

I actually have an awesome song that's explicitly about murder, but it doesn't even come close to resembling Death Note. :\

I had this idea a while ago but I never completed it or anything.

Puscifer - The Undertaker

There are two versions of the song. The album version and the Renholder mix.

Album: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Oxse7hW1qAc
Mix: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=WM6YevemuaQ

Lyrics (for the Renholder mix, the album version doesn't differ much):

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

You were way out of line,
went and turned it all around on me again
How can I not smell your lie
Through the smoke and arrogance?

But now I know
So you will not get away with it again
I'm distant in those hollow eyes
For I have reached my end. So...

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

Before I go tell me
Were you ever who you claimed yourself to be?

Either way i must say goodbye.
You're dead to me. So I...

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

I'm severing the heart then I'm leaving your corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be, though.
I won't be the one who killed you
I'll just leave that up to you

I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm gonna be the one to say...

I told you so (X8)
I told you

Severing the heart then I'm leaving you corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be and
I'm gonna be the one to say I told you so

depends on what version you are looking to use, its a really old song, the most recent version is by The Fugees but it takes out some of the lyrics...
