Tema

Una canción inspirada en el deporte extremo del paracaidismo y la adrenalina que proporciona la búsqueda de emociones fuertes. La letra se centra en el descenso, la intensa sensación de velocidad y la aceptación del riesgo, culminando en el metafórico 'torpedo de tierra' golpeando el suelo.

Letra

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 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 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 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 Jump or die! 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 High speed dirt, high speed dirt High speed dirt, high speed dirt High speed dirt, high speed dirt High speed dirt, high speed dirt
