Even the ruthless king
Dionysius holds his breath
We saw the finish on the paddock
We could only hope from the Fuji Track Grandstand
A trust that goes beyond friendship
Selinuntius, the horse trainer
Spending his days in the stable
Pasture and stall
Ten times faster than the setting sun
He ran like the black wind
On the last turn of the home stretch
He saw a tall tower in Syracuse
Run for your life, Melos!
You can’t win
There’s nothing other than life
Run for you life, Melos!
This is surely the end
Even the gods can see that
The favorite or the rival
Philostratus’s prediction
Gathering crucial information
Isn’t easy even for the horse track reporters
They’re collecting data
Winning by a nose, a head, a neck
The 3 year old horse’s biggest match
If he can
He wants to win by a huge margin
Ten times faster than the setting sun
He ran like the black wind
On the last turn of the home stretch
He saw a tall tower in Syracuse
Run for your life, Melos!
You can’t win
There’s nothing other than life
Run for your life, Melos!
This is surely the end
Even the gods can see that
Run for your life, Melos!
Run for your life, Melos!
