When
when wind blows and engine wails
when music rises and tires tear
when gears shift, up without fail
when landscape passes, so does fear
when heart beats and smites in chest
when senses race, beg for life
when human instinct cries, protests
when arrow rises, up and right
when gas is streaming, brakes lie still
when roaring wind fills the head
when speed is great, enough to kill
when glory beckons, til now unfed
when all thoughts leave, save for one
when nothing's left, no pain, despair
when this is reached, the wall undone
this is perfection, without compare
thus who would now this venture dare
who would in this state entail
now who would offer a heartsick pra'er
to the dark Gods, reap souls 'thout fail
we mortals seek this place oh why
this place where thought is total, s'pressed
s'pressed all thought but race or die
race for ever, or from reality fly
