The Rising Tide - The Killers Battle Born (2012) Intro: |--------3---5------| |--3--5-------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| (Many Times) 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 come the rising tide Let’s go out tonight There’s a mystery underneath the neon lights Before life and 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 Hallejuah" The time came for your solo But there’s nowhere to hide Here come the rising tide And the company you keep Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak So baby ’till life and dream the 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 on the back of the room when you testified With your pitchfork tongue you licked your lips and lied We’re never gonna know how hard you cried When you petitioned and your access was denied ’Till the venom in your veins is satisfied ’Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride Well you can’t escape (You can’t escape) Yeah you can’t escape (You can’t escape) No you can’t escape the rising of the tide
