Flogging Molly Speed Of Darkness

: God you say is always the answer But what is the answer for our cruelty We punish a life 'til it's life ever after Ever after the place that we all

of every day Eats away into decay [Chorus:] But I won't cry myself to sleep 'Cause my soul no longer weeps For my body lies In the heart of the sea Darkness

: I spent 27 years in this factory And the bossman says you're not what we need The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed It's a solitary

Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do? But crush the hand you never shook Then rob the rights of people to be free Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state You

I spent 27 years in this factory And the bossman says you're not what we need The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed It's a solitary life

Saints and sinners are but we Twisted wrecks of symmetry Like broken arrows split Against the mindless rift we feed Saints and sinners are And each other

Time to take a breath once more Before the hammer blow Wrap myself around the veil Against the bitter cold Body bruised from selfishness The penny dropped

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

From the town of Detroit where my job is secure, yeah Secure in the fact now that it's gone for good, yeah So I'll scrimp and I'll scrape at this pension
