The River Is Rising

[Verse 1]

Another fool for rage

Another truth betrayed

Another lackey out of line

Torture and rip-apart

What was the pure of heart

Poison the well and push the lie

[Pre-Chorus]

All in the name of nothing

Have we been hypnotized?

No doubt the end is coming

We're out of time

[Chorus]

Hang on

The river is rising

Hold strong

The tide is high

Will we drown in paradise?

[Verse 2]

Another wicked scheme

Another static dream

Indoctrination for the blind

[Pre-Chorus]

All in the name of nothing

Have we been hypnotized?

No doubt the end is coming

We're out of time

[Chorus]

Hang on

The river is rising

Hold strong

The tide is high

[Bridge]

A promise gone

Seething raging from the heart

[Guitar Break]

[Chorus]

Hang on

The river is rising

Hold strong

The tide is high

A promise long gone

So don't deny it

A cold dawn is sure to rise

As we drown in paradise
