Well done Pieje!
Here I would point out, as pertains to the theory Ed has notably placed, that type of theme is well known in Masonic dogma, typically known as the 'memento mori' (=Lat. , remember you too shall die). This is the notion behind the skull and crossbones symbolism commonly present in varied regalia etc of Freemasonry.
