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
