2nd Verse:

Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Presure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crashing to the ground
Damned if I'll be dead

3rd Verse:

Dropping all my weight
Going down full throtle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I'm a dirt torepdo
