No one knew on that fateful night
What was going to happen on
The air was stirred electric with
The heat of passion mounting fast.
Two young brave and cocky souls,
Abandoning discretion,
Set out to prove what didn't matter
To anyone but the two of them.
Who is quickest off the line?
Who is fastest in the stretch?
Which will reach the guidepost first
With seconds ticking past?
Egos stretched to maximum,
Pride their guiding father,
Betting that their lives will be
Enriched by such a whim.
Who could know?
Who could predict
How tragedy could prod and goad?
The toll was heavy on the night
It happened out on Paradise Road.
