Lifes Shadow
A shadow hidden within a shadow
Readying to make another widow
Cloak as black as deepest space
Within the cowl there is no face
Tall and thin he stalks the earth
Following each from our birth
He has our card marked true and clear
Of this being so many live in fear
For you he will come some day
There is no chance to get away
We all eventually face our fate
And follow death through life’s last gate
