Title : The Rising Tide
Artist : The Killers
Album : Battle Born

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
That gate's open wide
Here come the rising tide

Let's go out tonight
There's a mystery underneath those neon lights

Before life and the dream collide
'cause the truth's gonna come and cut me 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' (Hallelujah)

The time came for your solo
But there was nowhere to hide
To hide you from the rising tide

And the company you keep
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
So, baby 'til 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
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
Oh! Oh!
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied
They're 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

And you can't escape (you can't escape)
No you can't escape (you can't escape)
You can't escape, the rising of the tide
