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 cause 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 cuase 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 as under 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 cause 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
