[Intro – Whispering voices overlapping in the dark] (soft, breathy, almost mechanical whispers) Can you hear it…? Engines cry in the mist… There’s no turning back… The road knows your name… (distant echo — a single car revs in the void… thunder rolls…) [Verse 1 – Whispered, low and eerie] Asphalt veins under blood-red skies, Headlights flicker like haunted eyes. Every mile marker counts your sin, The blacktop hums — it’s pulling you in. Voices in static on the radio sing, “Keep driving, darling, feel death’s wing.” A figure ahead, but when you slow down, There’s nothing there — no one around… [Chorus – Whispering turns to chanting, distorted] (Whispered, overlapping) On the highway… highway to terror… You can’t escape… the night forever… Every scream is just an echo in chrome… You’re lost on the road… that leads you home. (A ghostly wail in the background — then silence) [Verse 2 – Spoken with trembling fear] The gas gauge’s empty, but the car won’t die, The moon bleeds red through the stormy sky. You see your reflection — but it starts to grin, And the voice in your head says, “Let me in…” Tires screech loud, a whisper screams “TURN!” But the steering wheel locks, the headlights burn. In the ditch — broken glass and fire — The shadows dance — they never tire. [Bridge – Heartbeat tempo, whispered countdown] 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… The fog grows thicker, your pulse can’t fix… 5… 4… 3… 2… The road keeps going — it’s inside you. [Final Chorus – Chaotic, overlapping whispers] Highway to terror… keep your hands on the wheel… The devil’s behind you… his laughter is real… No map, no mercy, no dawn in sight… You’re driving forever… through endless night. [Outro – fading heartbeat, faint whisper] Welcome home… …to the road you’ll never leave. (a long screech of tires — then silence, broken only by a single whispered word) …drive…
