You might believe?,And still you feel the chase has just begun,

That you must reach the horizon before,The setting of the sun,

You chase the light in front of you,Nightfall is close behind,

If you stop to catch a breath,You know what you will find.

Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,You know what you will find,

That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind,
