I stood at the top of the highest mountain And still couldn't see the light And I walked the width of the universe To lengthen this short sight So we'll rally the troops, lets go to war And die side by side The sun will set, scarlet red Sat in a monet sky Side by side we'll die Is it so hard to be Hard to be free When everything is crumbling And it's hard to feel Like I'm not on a spinning wheel Round in circles tumbling I thought I conquered the unconquerable But there's nothing to show for it You look at me, your eyes so miserable And it's so hard to admit I'm the reason for it Is it so hard to be Hard to be free When everything is crumbling And it's hard to feel Like I'm not on a spinning wheel Round in circles tumbling The stage is set for war Hear the peasants roar The stage is set for war Leave them wanting more Is it so hard to be Hard to be free When everything is crumbling And it's hard to feel Like I haven't burnt the last reel The finale is a mystery
