Intro:- Dm F C Am x4


Bury me in silence for I'll never hear the truth

Dm F C Am

My coffin will be empty cause you'll never steal my youth

Dm F C Am

     Dm             F                  G           Am
I was born to live beside you but you tried to stop me grow
     Dm             F                  G           Am
Now I'm living on the run from all this hatred you now love
     Dm             F              C        Dm
Who said it only rains from the heavens above

  F                             Dm
The speed of darkness lights our way
 F                       Dm
We set our course for America
 C                       Dm
No bitterness will bite my tongue
 C                       G
The speed of darkness has begun

Dm F C Am x2


It's something of a pity but you'll never understand

Dm F C Am

How a boy can grow and still never be a man

Dm F C Am

          Dm                  F              G           Am
I would trade the sun for nothing and the glancing of a star
          Dm                  F              G          Am
If you could just remember grains of dust is all we are
          Dm                 F          C        Dm
It only takes a second for a beat to kill a heart

F                             Dm
The speed of darkness lights our way
F                       Dm
We set our course for America
C                       Dm
No bitterness will bite this tongue
 Dm                             F
I've reconciled with all that's gone
 F         C                 G
The speed of darkness has begun

Em                      Am
Only time and life will tell
Em                               F        G  
But it's a long way home when you're in hell
Em                          Am
Where constant demons fracture souls
Em                            F        G
Once a nightmare, now just lifeless ghosts

Chords under solo:- Am x4 C x4 (repeat twice)

      F            C            G
The speed of darkness lights our way

You tore this land asunder but my pride will bring it back

Dm F C Am

Dm                  F              G           Am
I would trade the sun for nothing and the glancing of a star
Dm                  F              G           Am
If you could just remember grains of dust is all we are
Dm                 F          C        Dm
It only takes a second for beat to kill a heart


F                             Dm
The speed of darkness lights our way
F                       Dm
We set our course for America
C                       Dm
No bitterness will bite this tongue
 Dm                             F
I've reconciled with all that's gone
 F         C                 G
The speed of darkness has begun

The speed of darkness has begun...

Dm F C Am
