Speed kills but beauty lives forever,
Speed kills but beauty knows your name.
I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter.
And stood still beside eternal flame.

The first time that I ever saw you,
Crashing hard through days of pain,
You were one of God's children,
Left to cry out in the rain,
Waiting to be saved at last.

And when I ride with you tonight,
We can move, at the speed of light.
Forever young, forever bright,
Into the stars we rock tonight.
