Ronnie Vannucci Jnr - The Rising Tide lyrics

[Verse 1] The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's the right place But you traveled down the wrong road Like so many before you, the gates open wide Here come the rising tide [Verse 2] Let's go out tonight There's a mystery underneath the neon light Before life and the dream collide Because the truth going to come and cut me open wide And you can't escape the rising of the tide [Verse 3] Keep up your appearance You're joining the choir With everybody singing out Hallelujah The time came for your solo But there was nowhere to hide Here come the rising tide [Verse 4] And the company you keep Where they plan your crucifixion as we speak So baby, till life and the dream collide There's going to be a mystery underneath those neon lights If you can't decipher just who's on your side You and I escape the rising of the tide [Verse 5] Can you tell me ?? Or in denial I was there in the back of the room when you touched the ? With your pitchfork tongue you lick your lips and lie We're never going to know how hard you cry When you petition and your access was denied Till the venom in your veins is satisfied Till you suffocate and swallow down your pride Where you can't escape, can't escape the rising of the tide
