The Rising of the Tide Songtext
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 those neon lights
Until 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're joining the choir
With everybody singing out
Glory Hallelujah
The songs get you nowhere
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 life and the dream collide
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
You'll petition, but your access was denied
And you can't 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
Well you took the stand, you licked your lips, and you lied
Until life and the dream collide
Well I gotta believe there's something on my side
When the venom in your veins is satisfied
You'll be running but there ain't nowhere to hide

And you can't escape
(You can't escape)
You can't escape
(You can't escape)
You can't escape the rising of the tide
