Flogging Molly - The Cradle of Humankind lyrics
[Flogging Molly - The Cradle of Humankind lyrics]
The sum of all my fears like dread
Are from demons yet to come
All the things I should've mentioned wave
Goodbye and we'll see you soon
It's the words I've never written
That say more about myself
Where empty is the promise lies
A pocket full of doubt
So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Though my time may be less traveled
Than those that came before
We're all exiles here in madness
Kicking down each other's door
Unforgiven is the lesson we
Pour upon ourselves
When a helping hand is needed
A slap in the face is what we get
But, I will fight for this right
And each moment of it's life
Till I witness all the
Differences yet to heal
So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Sometimes drink till I am empty
Grab another from the shelf
Though I'm stuck in conversation
It's with myself and no one else
Never listen to much reason till
I hear it's last call
When I notice that ghost is
Still dancing on his own
So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Wherever you go (The sun sets to rise
On a day that you find you Struggle to be
But, you're already there) wherever you go
Wherever you go (A passionless life
Has no words to write
It's a body that's broken
And breathless of life) oh, wherever you go
There will always be a roof and
A dream above our heads
As long as I'm breathing
Then forever I'll be
Ah, I will fight for this right
And each moment of it's life
Till I witness all the
Differences yet to heal
So may the road we've yet to take
Leave a smile across our face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
We still belong in the cradle of humankind
Are from demons yet to come
All the things I should've mentioned wave
Goodbye and we'll see you soon
It's the words I've never written
That say more about myself
Where empty is the promise lies
A pocket full of doubt
So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Though my time may be less traveled
Than those that came before
We're all exiles here in madness
Kicking down each other's door
Unforgiven is the lesson we
Pour upon ourselves
When a helping hand is needed
A slap in the face is what we get
But, I will fight for this right
And each moment of it's life
Till I witness all the
Differences yet to heal
So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the
Darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Sometimes drink till I am empty
Grab another from the shelf
Though I'm stuck in conversation
It's with myself and no one else
Never listen to much reason till

When I notice that ghost is
Still dancing on his own
So may the road I've yet to take

We still belong in the cradle of humankind
