LYRICS: They say a rising tide raises all ships But when you’re left behind it’s pretty hard to find Any solace in this They say we’re rising tides but no one takes ownership So I’ll close my eyes as the waters rise Ignorance is bliss Unaffected by the changing winds But when the tide turns, we’ll be guided off the edge of the world I wonder what our children will sing of our mechanical beasts That destroyed the sea But it’s too late to turn back Faith holds back the waters From our sons and our daughters ’Cause we can’t seem to hear our children scream “Is this the world that you have left for me?“ We all know that we can’t fix this with gold Or build walls around them all Shall we pen ’em in to keep our worst fears out Then rise the seas now we’ve made the drought They say a rising tide raises all ships But when you’re left behind it’s pretty hard to find Any solace in this They say we’re rising tides but no one takes ownership So I’ll close my eyes as the world divides Ignorance is bliss You’ll dig - you’ll scrape - you’ll carve And tear apart her body You can’t seem to see the signs of this damn plague ’Cause the earth doesn’t bleed red It bleeds ’Cause the earth doesn’t bleed red It bleeds black It bleeds black I can’t believe this could be the place I called my I can’t believe this could be the place I called my home You can’t be this ███ thick It must be ███ bliss Maybe I should just shut my mouth God knows I want to; I’m just trying to figure this out I’ve lost those I love I thought that I would die But here we are And somehow I’m still alive They say a rising tide raises all ships But when you’re left behind it’s pretty hard to find Any solace in this They say we’re rising tides but no one takes ownership Ignorance is bliss You can’t be this ███ thick ℗ THE HERO DIES FIRST
