Speed Of Darkness Lyrics - Speed Of Darkness - Flogging Molly

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, 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 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 

The speed of darkness has begun
