The Rising Tide |
| The streets of persuasion |
| Are plated with gold |
| Your heart’s in the right place, |
| But you travel down the wrong road |
| Like so many before you |
| The gates open wide |
| Here come the rising tide (rising tide) |
| Let’s go out tonight |
| There’s a mystery underneath the neon light |
| Before life and dreams collide |
| Cause the truth’s gonna come and cut me open wide |
| And you can’t escape the rising of the tide |
| Keep up your appearance; |
| you’re joining the choir |
| With everybody singing out «Glory, Hallelujah"(Hallelujah) |
| The time came for your solo |
| But there was nowhere to hide |
| Here come the rising tide (rising tide) |
| And the company you keep, |
| Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak |
| So, baby 'til life and the dream collide |
| There’s gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights |
| If you can’t decipher just who’s on your side |
| You will not escape the rising of the tide |
| Can you tell me brother? |
| Was I deceived, or in denial? |
| I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified |
| With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied |
| We’re never gonna know how hard you cried |
| When you petitioned and your access was denied |
| 'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied |
| 'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride |
| Well you can’t escape |
| (You can’t escape) |
| Yeah, you can’t escape |
| (You can’t escape) |
| No, you can’t escape the rising of the tide |
