Races Lyrics

Rumble of wheels, clatter of hooves

We ride

Wide and inside, the chariot driver

Glides

Driven by flesh, driven by mind

He sees

Lean and between, the thundering horses

Proud

Roar of the wheels, roar of the crowd

Mosaic of faces

Gather of pages

Assembly of races

Engines that growl, engines that scream

We cheer

Steer in high gear, pinion and rack

Here

There in the flesh, there on the track

They speed

Freed they proceed, ghosts of a knighthood

Gone

Swiftly come near, swiftly go yon

Mosaic of faces

Gather of pages

Assembly of races

No stabbings, no shootings, no death

Though we curse rivals with our last breath

We're sitting, we're watching, we perch

Treat this violence like a day in church

Mosaic of faces

Gather of pages

Assembly of races

Pictures that move, flickers of light

We sight

Might making right, the hero's fighting

Scars

In the fast flesh, in a fast car

He goes

Over the toes of villainy as they

Spin

Rolls through the tale, rolls to the win

Mosaic of faces

Gather of pages

Assembly of races

Mosaic of faces

Gather of pages

Assembly of races
