The Rising Tide 歌詞
.
The streets of persuasion
Are plated with gold
Your hearts 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
.
Lets go out tonight
Theres a mystery underneath the neon light
Before life and dreams collide
Cause the truths gonna come and cut me open wide
And you cant escape the rising of the tide
.
Keep up your appearance; youre joining the choir
With everybody singing out 'Glory, Hallelujah'
The time came for your solo
But there was nowhere to hide
Here come the rising tide
.
And the company you keep,
Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak
So, baby til life and the dream collide
Theres gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
If you cant decipher just whos 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
Were 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 cant escape
You cant escape
Yeah, you cant escape
You cant escape
No, you cant escape the rising of the tide
.
