Hidden in the shadows
voices in the fray
Varied consultations
night turns into day
-
Evil rides the whispers
the ears the eyes of dark
Insecurity and fear
begin to leave its mark
-
Doubts, misunderstandings
the mind, which path to choose
Wills bend to its commanding
once won, it’s yours to lose
-
Haunted chambers of the heart
suffered at another's hand
Journeys made, left to embark
fates not as we had planned
-
Any consolation
the end is coming soon
Demands participation
avoid being left in ruin
-
Light up all the candles
shoo the ghosts away
The end of life, a scandal
death has come to play

Koheleth could not have said it better in all the book of Ecclesiastes. (Neither could the musical "Pippin".) Navigate our path & do the best we can, death will still have its way.
Nice piece
