POV death songs
Powderfinger - Neil Young
"But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black
And my face splashed in the sky"
1916 - Motorhead
"I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
And I fell by his side, and that's how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other"
Any others?

"The Trooper" - Iron Maiden
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

The Unicorns - "Ready to Die"
I woke up thirsty on an island in the sea
I woke up hungry with hungry cougars surrounding me
I hit the soft spot on the soft spot on my head
It made me tired so I sung from my bed
I'm ready to die
I'm ready to die
I'm ready to die
I'm ready to die
A sword, a switchblade, any way you cut it
I'm not afraid, I know I'm going to get it
Oh maker! (of such fine products
As palm trees, and the dead sea)
Don't pardon me, there's nothing rude
Things conclude, things conclude!
As I slurred that chorus, the ghosts got biggie
Small sounds like a drill
The death sweat suits me
A death threat provides a thrill
I've seen the world, kissed all the pretty girls
I've said my goodbyes and now I'm ready to die (cough)
Oh!

Green Green Grass Of Home. (waiting for execution.) The narrator of Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is likewise waiting for execution. I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low

El Paso by Marty Robbins. Same with his Running Gun.
The Long Black Veil by Lefty Frizzell, though the narrator is dead from the start.

Damn, half of Nick Cave's catalogue fits. How could I forget
