On a rugged cliff , the very edge, above the endless gap.
I keep lashing at my horses with my whip, rushing them...
I'm getting (or get?) not enough air to breathe,
I'm drinking wind, I'm swallowing the fog.
I can sense with horrid wonder,
I'm vanishing, I'm dying.
Chorus
Slow your gallop, oh my horses!
Slow your gallop, I say!
Don't you listen to my tight whip.
But the horses I was given,
wilful and so picky. (in Nederlands Kieskeurig)
Can't complete the life I'm living,
At least I hope to finish my singing.
