The Rising Tide Lyrics

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 comes the rising tide
Let's go out, tonight
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights
Before the life and dream collide
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut you open wide
And you can't escape the rising of the tide
Keep up your appearance, you join the choir
With everybody singing out
Glory Hallelujah
The time came for your solo
But there's nowhere to hide
Here comes the rising tide
And the company you keep

Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak
So, baby 'til the 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
There are no escape the rising of the tide
Can you tell me bro 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 you lied
We are never gonna know how hard you cry
When your petition then your access was denied
Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
Till you suffocate and and swallow down the pride
Well you can't escape
the rising of the tide
Well you can't escape
(You can't escape)
Well you can't escape
(You can't escape)
Well you can't escape the rising of the tide
