"The River Is Rising" lyrics - SLASH
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?
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
