Red Tide Lyrics - Presto - Rush

Nature has some new plague 

To run in our streets 

History has some new wrinkle 

We are doomed to repeat. 

Fugitives at the bedroom door 

Lovers pause to find an open store 

Rain is burning on the forest floor 

And the red tide kisses the shore. 

This is not a false alarm 

This is not a test. 

Stay out of the sun 

It only burns my skin 

Sky full of poison 

And the atmosphere's too thin.

Bless the sun, the rain no more 

River running like an open sore 

Black wind falling to the ocean floor 

And the red tide washes ashore. 

This is not a false alarm 

This is not a test 

Nowhere we can fly away, nowhere we can rest 

The party is disrupted by an uninvited guest. 

Deadline approaches 

For the weary land 

It used to be something 

But we let it run down in our hands. 

Too late for debate, too bad to ignore 

Quiet rebellion leads to open war 

Bring a sea change to the factory floor 

As the red tide covers the shore.

Now's the time to turn the tide 

Now's the time to fight 

Let us not go gently 

To the endless winter night. 

Now's the time to make the time 

While hope is still in sight 

Let us not go gently 

To the endless winter night
