Slash - 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
A promise gone

{Bridge}
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
