The Cradle Of Humankind Lyrics - Speed Of Darkness - Flogging Molly

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 come 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's is needed, a slap in the face is what we get 

But I will fight for this right and each moment of its 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 ([something about the sun]) 

Wherever you go 

Wherever you go ([something about passion]) 

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 its 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
