The Rising Tide Lyrics - Battle Born - The Killers

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 (Rising tide) 

Let's go out tonight 

There's a mystery underneath the neon light 

Before life and my 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You're joining the choir 

With everybody singing out 

Glory, Hallelujah (Hallelujah) 

The time came for your solo 

But there was nowhere to hide 

Here come the rising tide (Rising tide) 

And the company you keep 

Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak 

So, baby till 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? 

Photos 

Was I deceived or in denial? 

I was there in 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
