We'll all live this world because death doesn't whether you are rich or not
The Hasty Death
Death! Do not haste!
We all remain in your debt,
A day will come,
When we settle it,
By returning to the ground,
Where maggots sing on bodies,
Death! Do not haste!
Unto you, the riches return,
Also, the Lazaruses follow,
Every head has limited time,
To spend in the endless market,
Death! Do not haste!
Either the kings or servants,
We all walk in your path,
One by one, your debt,
Will be paid.
