my car prowls through the night

Stealthy crawling through the dark

With eyes shining like the beacon

Of a lighthouse

Blazing through the night

Chasing away the curtain of darkness

Laid upon the ground

Like man's first fire

Protesting the darkness and death within

Seeking to bring warmth from a cold, dead night

But even as the tail lights

Cast a red glow

Glaring at the darkness behind it

The darkness returns, slithering like the lies of death

As my island of light

Travels in the void of night
