Know For Why

Yorkshire terrain 
Country road
Street lights dim
Open go

Rooftop down
Windy sky
Birds fly by
Accelerator drive

Through the bends
Speed like lighting flies
Mind racing hard
Caution cries

Valley road
Hill tops kiss the sky
Feel the power
V6 cry

Push it harder
Push it wide
Adrenaline feeds
Danger collides

Push it harder
Challenge the risk
Feel your soul
Scratch the itch

Corner taking
Sharp and wide
Blind top approaches 
Feel the drive

Hear the thunder
Charge your mind
Feel serenity 
Clarity of mind

Feel the presence of ones you’ve lost
Feel the broken dreams and realise the cost
Feel the pressure of life fade
See the wreckage that you’ve made
See the body of a broken man
Know what’s left of your life died on that land

A strange quiet fills the air
A strange feeling of complete despair 
A strange arrogance that did not die
A strange place to be - the other side

Now your dead

Know your dead and know for why
