Les laches meurent plusieurs fois avant de mourir; les vaillants ne goutent qu'une fois de la mort

Here the "je vais" is not used as the verb "to go somewhere", but as an auxiliary indicating a (usually near) future action, like in English « I'm going + infinitive ».
« Je vais à la mer » → "I'm going to the sea"
« Je vais aller à la mer » → "I'm going to go to the sea"

In English, the two words "to die" together forms an infinitive, which is substituted by the French infinitive "mourir" in the translation.
