Speed of Darkness Lyrics

Title track off the Molly's 2011 album.
Chords used
If you're playing the electric parts, I suggest you play power chords for the verse and
just single
root notes for the second part of the verse, and strum the chorus. That sounds the best
to me but feel
free to have fun and strum however you please :)
Intro:
Verse 1.1
Bury me in silence
For I'll never hear the truth
My coffin will be empty
Cause you'll never steal my youth
VERSE 1.2
I was born to live beside you
But you tried to stop me grow
Now I'm living on the run
Who said it only rains
"short" CHORUS
Speed of darkness lights our way
We set our course for America
No bitterness will bite my tongue
The speed of darkness has begun
(Begun)
VERSE 2.1 and 2.2 same as before
It's something of a pity
But you'll never understand
How a boy can grow and
Still never be a man
I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For a beat to kill a heart
Speed of darkness lights our way
We set our course for America
No bitterness will bite this tongue
I've reconciled with all that's gone
The speed of darkness has begun
Only time and life will tell
But it's a long way home when you're in hell
Where constant demons fracture souls
Once a nightmare, now just lifeless ghosts
Speed of darkness lights our way
VERSE 3.1 and 3.2 same as before
You tore this land asunder
But my pride will bring it back
I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For beat to kill a heart
That's it, this song is fun as hell to play. Enjoy
