Colosseum Hard Times Rising
Up on the hill
Just hear that nightbird lose its mind
Is he mourning for the days
Before the bright sun's eyes went blind
Can't remember where I'd been
When I was searching for a land of green
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
Down in the dark
I hear that siren call my name
See her standing in the light
Waiting for that long gone train
Can't remember who I was
When I was fighting for that real just cause
Can't remember what I did
But when I'd done it I just ran and hid
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
Out in the streets
Just hear that rain a-falling slow
Keeps on looking for a place
But there ain't no more place to go
Can't remember how it went
But I came back without a goddamn cent
Can't remember why we fought
But I set sail for another port
Rails a-humming
Clocks keep running
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
