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



Chorus

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



Chorus

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



Chorus
