Speed of Dark - Lyrics - A Wilhelm Scream

A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Many people have referenced Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm Scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin' Isaiah, Koen, and Adam's Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes "from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing maturing as a band". They have been called "the best hardcore band since Black Flag".

The body's singing Without speaking You bit your brass ring off like a monster wouldn't leave you alone You skinned the *** to his bones in case you got cold Normally sent with a dream I had to laugh when I woke to the sound of a gun That was the best nightmare that I just woke up from Normally sent with a heart attack All your attempts were canonized Blessed with a wreck of a heart of lead I broke my back to spite my spine Delightful ring around your neck, you fooled them all Don't I feel so *** worthless I'll bet that took all of your last nerves But you're used to this It's not plugged in The phone is ringing Time's up for devouring, your appeal's waning, you want to right the wrongs But you chewed up everyone that you spit on Sometimes halcyon weeks make me believe I should be relieved enough You were the best nightmare that I just woke up from Normally sent with a heart attack All your attempts were canonized Blessed with a wreck of a heart of lead I broke my back to spite my spine The last night that I waited on, you'll lose your sleep in time Your mind knows what your body wants, you'll lose your step in time You move so fast sometimes, I fell so far behind You'll lose your step in time, you'll lose your step in time You'll lose your step in time You'll lose your step in time
