1) The first reference is part of Death's dialogue, the dagger (knife) of death is bathed in the blood of those brave men who've been taken on the field of battle.

2) Death has come from his grave (his property/habitation) to speak coerce the mortal to accept death.

3) The death of the mortal; Virtue is an angel in this context.
