The darkness does not stop
The reckless destruction
Does not deliver us from
The real cold steal devil
It only offers us respite

The night is cool and quiet
Softening the day’s violence

But the heated current
Still cuts through to
The next new day

Coursing copper won’t stop
The electric advancement
The expansion of mansions
And corporate headquarters

Piercing flesh piercing earth
Till both bleed oil
The hot crust touches both of us
And though you strive
To work and thrive
I ride the night to survive
And live a slightly more
Peaceful life
