Broken Shore Lyrics by The Black Lillies

Hard To Please

0

There’s a rock in the middle of the ocean Where the water meets the sky
Built from the fire way down below; I can hear her mournful cry
Waves crashing on a broken shore; there’s darkness on the sun
Please Lord, don’t leave me here In the valley of the gun
Sail across the ocean
Span the waters wide
Seventy thousand gonna take that hill
Look death in the eye
There’s fire on the ground and earth in the air
The whole world’s come undone
The devil’s loose on a beach of fire
In the land of the rising sun
Which way is heaven and which way is hell? It’s so hard to tell
Which way is heaven and which way is hell? It’s so hard to tell
Which way is heaven and which way is hell? It’s so hard to tell
Which way is heaven and which way is hell? It’s so hard to tell
Which way is heaven and which way is hell?
Which way is heaven and which way is hell?
Which way is heaven and which way is hell?
Which way is heaven and which way is hell?
It’s so hard to tell
I see colors flying, brothers dying
The tides of war have sung
Gonna fight to the death till there ain’t much left
In the land of the rising sun
I see colors flying, brothers dying
The tides of war have sung
Gonna fight to the death till there ain’t much left
In the land of the rising sun
In the land of the rising sun
In the land of the rising sun
In the land of the rising sun
There’s a rock in the middle of the ocean
Where the water meets the sky
Built from the fire way down below
I can hear her mournful cry
