Burst into the battle, riding

Like two animals, charging

I’m a part of this brutal beast

Brave as one, united we feast

It broke out with matchless fury

The rapid vehement fire

Him we praise above the earth

Fire, the fiery meteor of the dawn

His path is like a water-course

Thy rage in the chief streams

The dawn smiles, repelling gloom

Returning to the old places

At dawn with violence

At every meet season

At the meet season of his turnings

At the four stages of his course

Engulfed in madness final prayer

A horse will gallop through the air

The horse's biggest crime

To gallop high, while blind

Into the madness of what he sees:

A bloodied kingdom that cannot leave

The beauty of death, always stuck between

The horse stands like a knight on guard

Wind plays across his fine hairs, hard

Two enormous worlds, like eyes sting

His mane spreads like the mantle of a king

The horse's biggest crime

To gallop high, while blind
