No Time To Die

When I have seen all there is to see
When I have searched every low and high
When I have become all there is to be
Then that is the time to die

When I have done everything the right way
When I have tried all there is to try
When I have said everything I should say
Then that is the time to die

When I have known all there is to know
When I have learned every question why
When I have gone every place there is to go
Then that is the time to die

When I have heard all there is to hear
When I have discerned every truth from a lie
When I have had love that cast out all fear
Then that is the time to die

When I have lived life to its fullest measure
When I have shown who really am I
When I have experienced every good pleasure
Then that is the time to die
