Now Or Later

What's the difference between now or later?
When we will all receive the gift of death we can't refuse
Death greets every nation
Both ***** and the Paleface

Whether you left at ninety or fifteen
Memories of you on earth will fade gradually 
Songs of funeral and proclamation of love 
Only last a moment

Dreams and wishes will fade like smokes from quenched fire
And you will be an empty vessel in grave feeling relieve from obsessive ties to life
No matter how much you strive for a better life
You will die 

The time may be different 
But your time will never miss you
