Salt in the air... Lights far away... Black on the horizon... Night takes the bay... Black! Tide! Black! Tide! [Verse 1] Harbor chains are ringing Along the concrete wall Clouds erase the moonlight Cold drops start to fall Canvas snaps above us Masts cut through the rain A low drum rolls offshore Calling out again [Pre-Chorus] Foam crawls over iron Wind pulls through the wire Lightning finds the water Turns the waves to fire Hold on to the railing Hear the engines cry A black line on the water Climbs into the sky [Build] Raise the flare Into rain Hear the wave [DROP 1] BLACK TIDE! Hear the sound! BLACK TIDE! Shake the ground! Higher! Fire! Lightning tears the sky! BLACK TIDE! Feel the spray! BLACK TIDE! No escape! Hold on! Storm on! [Verse 2] Windows flash with white light Waves strike down the pier Steel hulls groan together Nothing else is near Black water fills the harbor Past the painted lines Every bell is shaking Under broken skies [Pre-Chorus] No more quiet water No more sleeping shore Wind drives salt and gravel Through the open door Count the pulse of thunder Feel the deck descend One more wall of water One more wave to bend [Build 2] Everybody! Jump! Jump! Jump! Black tide... Rises... [MAIN DROP] BLACK TIDE! Raise the light! Ride the wave Through the violent night! Higher! Whoa-oh-oh! Fire! Thunder over sea! BLACK TIDE! Hear the cry! White foam racing Past the sky! Stand strong! Storm on! BLACK TIDE! Feel the ground! Every heart and siren Scream as one! [Breakdown] One bell... One flare... Cold rain... Everywhere... Dawn is burning... Through the grey... [FINAL BUILD] Wind is rising... Waves are rising... Dawn is rising... Three! Two! One! [FINAL DROP] BLACK TIDE! Raise the light! Dawn breaks open Through the night! We are alive! We survive! One sea! One cry! Black tide! Burning sky! Black! Tide! Black! Tide! [Outro] Salt in the air... Black tide... [End]
