THE SPEED OF DARKNESS
Music & Lyrics: Magnus Olsfelt
Those you know – don't speak
Those you speak – don't know
Knowledge no words can contain
In the silence between your chattering thoughts
You dream of light that do not die
Well, think again
Saying prayers for your soul to save
You're wrong again
Helpless, weak and afraid
Drawn into the light of doom
And like moth to the flame
You're consumed
Bridge:
Belief – as hollow as fear
Darkness – The way of the force
Chorus:
The Speed of Darkness – Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
From Darkness all is born
And to Darkness all return
You try so hard to follow – I know no path
You pray and kneel and worship – I do not care
With no way to follow – I can't be lost
When free of all illusion – There is just force
Bridge:
The way of no roads
The freedom here at the peak of time
Chorus:
The Speed of Darkness – Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
The Speed of Darkness (x6)
Hell – for the helpless ones
I take and make it my heaven
Hell – for the helpless ones
I am at one with Darkness
(Lead: Marcus Sunesson)
Before the beginning
After the end
Like cattle who in panic flee
From the fire
You will run in fear until you fall
All burning
(But) those who stand and turn towards the flames
Through the inferno
Shall survive on the other side
Where the ground is cleansed
Bridge:
For those who turn to Darkness
Are in Endlessness
Chorus:
The Speed of Darkness – Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness – Do you know
The Speed of Darkness
The Speed of Darkness
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Forever with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
All Light Gone – All Night Long (x4)
