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
