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 |
