For those of you who don't know, both can be used as greeting. They aren't usually used for their literal meanings.

I can imagine myself in a family reunion and saying: "Hey, family! All the men must die! Thank you!"

"morghūlis" is pronounced differently than in the series, right?

really a very peculiar language, just imagine how funny it would be in a formal conversation with friends or family you simply say "All men must die" or "All men must serve" kkkk
how do you serve when you're dead?

"All men die. All men serve" is a mere inevitability.
"All men must die. All men must serve" is an obligation.

I think it is written in the aorist form, not in the imperative. So an inevitability should be considered correct.
