Flogging Molly - Speed of Darkness lyrics
[Flogging Molly - Speed of Darkness lyrics]
Bury me in silence for I'll
Never hear the truth
My coffin will be empty 'cause
You'll never steal my youth
I was born to live beside you but
You tried to stop me grow
Now I'm living on the run from
All this hatred you now love
Who said it only rains from the heavens above
The speed of darkness lights our way
We set our course for America
No bitterness will bite my tongue
The speed of darkness has begun
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
The 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
The speed of darkness lights our way
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 a
Beat to kill a heart
Never hear the truth
My coffin will be empty 'cause
You'll never steal my youth
I was born to live beside you but
You tried to stop me grow
Now I'm living on the run from
All this hatred you now love
Who said it only rains from the heavens above
The speed of darkness lights our way
We set our course for America
No bitterness will bite my tongue
The speed of darkness has begun
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
The 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
The speed of darkness lights our way
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 a
Beat to kill a heart
