It's who's turn

Many died and leave the strive
While all that remains are left to thrive
Now, if death comes with a frowning knife
Can I say, do not take my life

Many died and leave this world
This cruel world, but we are not getting bored
Now, if death comes with a bladeless sword
Can I say, do not shed my blood

Many died and stopped the run 
We are here staring at the sun
Now, if death comes with a merciless gun
Can I say, it's not yet my turn

Death doesn't come with a bell and gong
It comes with the lyrics of a new sorrowful song
Mixed with tears that keeps flowing on
Flowing towards another dirge that is yet to sung
