I think is about a hero, not so much about death.
I don't think it has anything to do with religion.
It's about that hero who you love so much that is always saving the day yet never seems to have a happy ending for themself. A selfless hero wanting to have that happy ending, but can't even allow themself to be selfish enough to force their happy ending even though they just might be able to.
I think the "when my time comes" is the hero wanting to just be done saving or doing anything and wanting that time of nothing. This hero can't be happy, but they aren't exactly unhappy so they are just waiting for their time to be done.
It's a very zen hero. They know they save and they know their life isn't about their own happiness, but rather about helping others.
