flickers in the dark along the hills
booming cracks coming in from the mills
copper tubing glitters from the stills
turn from the window giving me chills

there's a hard rain coming
a bitter brew
there's a hard rain coming
straight at you
a hard rain coming
straight at you
a hard rain coming
a hard rain coming
a hard rain coming
a bitter brew

off in the distance a dusky veil
like a letter of remorse coming in the mail
we're over the ridge and beyond the pale
running in the face of a toothy gale

there's a hard rain coming
a bitter brew
a hard rain coming
straight at you

a dead  harsh memory ancient and cold
down through the ages it was foretold
crawling skin when the thunder rolls
claws and teeth are loose in the fold

there's a hard rain coming
a bitter brew
a hard rain coming
straight at you
