There's a fire on the mountain
There's a fire in my soul
There's a sign on the highway
It's a hard road

There's a break in a heart
There's a break in a bone
There's a ghost in the dark
It's a hard road

There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save my soul
It's a hard road

There's a heavy jacket
There's a heavy load
There's a weight on my shoulders
It's a hard road

There's a howl at the backdoor
There's a howl in the cold
There's a broken bottle
It's a hard road

There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save my soul
It's a hard road

There's a strange feeling coming over me
Hollow eyes misery
There's someone at the backdoor
There's someone in the cold
God save my soul
It's a hard road
