Evermore - Rising Tide

A world of colors turns to a darker shade of pale
The spark of life becomes a fire in my eyes

I've seen the horrors that men do
A life in servitude of merciful tyrants

A sliver of doubt in the midst of your lies
The castle of cards, a wolf in disguise

Concealed in the eyes of a child
The time for us is now

Rising tide
Now I feel alive
I'm breaking through

Rising tide
The power to decide
What the future holds for you

The summer haze of childhood dreams out in the fields
The will of evil men that brought me to my knees
It ripped the innocence out of me
A child reborn again and baptized in fire

I found a reason to change what's inside
Burning desire that flame is my guide,
Revealed in the eyes of a child.
The time for us is now

Now, the weight of your crown
Caught in the tide
Gasping for air as the waves crash down
The castle of cards
A drop in the ocean
