Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do it if you dare, leaping from the sky
Hurling through the air, exhilarating high
See the earth below, soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death, I'm off to meet my maker
[Chorus]
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop till I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact
Taste the high speed dirt
[Verse 2]
Paralyzed with fear, feel velocity gain
Entering a near catatonic state
Pressure of the sound roaring through my head
Crash into the ground, damned if I'll be dead
[Chorus]
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop till I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact
Taste the high speed dirt
[Verse 3]
Jump or die!
[Verse 4]
Solo: Mustaine
Solo: Friedman
[Verse 5]
Dropping all my weight, going down full throttle
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 torpedo
[Verse 6]
Solo: Friedman
[Verse 7]
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
High Speed Dirt
[Verse 8]
Solo: Mustaine
[Verse 9]
Shit!
