Death Spare Life Till Dawn Ii

Has my life’s essence come to pass? 
Each breath is taken to be a minute's last 
Momentary memories to an hour glass 
Are counting sands in my jagged past 
Exhausting to count in humanity's hands 
As time ticks life's melodic dance 
As the human race lead an awkward pace 
Have I outlived my life's race? 
To chase the illusion of the next stage 
Called capital; cash; chink or coinage 
The grim reaper puts these dreams sleeper 
‘Cause silence is evidence of this creeper 

Now consider, this song not as a remedy 
But a strategy to let men for tells the tragedy 
With so much life we mourn, 
Death spare life till dawn...
