“The Race Is About to Begin” is a song detailing Tristan Bongo’s entanglement with horse racing after leaving the army. Tristan Bongo is from track four, “Welcome to Hell”. The first section of the song describes the people in the stadium and their lives, and the second section of the song describes Tristan Bongo going looney, as he descends into his gambling addiction. He gets addicted to betting on the races, and stays there for 30 years (whether literally or figuratively, can’t be said for certain). Read more on Last.fm.
