Lyrics
The Rising Tide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The tragedy read of children scarred with the faces of men
Consumed by the malice that runs through their veins
A fistful of broken dreams
Gun City, you're sleepless tonight
Gun City, we're drowning together
An ex-beauty queen with the sunken eyes of a hopeless bride
Consumed by the poison that burns in her veins
The cruelty of wasted years
Gun City, you're sleepless tonight
Gun City, we're drowning together
Gun City, you're sleepless tonight
Gun City, we're facing the rising tide
