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. (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. (Hallelujah...) The time came for your solo, But there's nowhere to hide. Here comes the rising tide. (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... Ow! Ow! 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. (Pride...) 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.
