Song Description

People work all their lives for a moment in the sun, but death waits for us all

Lyrics

Riptide
Michael R. J. Roth / Alexis Tapp / Eryn Michel

V1
Tourists come from everyplace for a fleeting, golden vision
Of lives turned into fantasies that seethe like nuclear fission
Sun-screened skin beneath umbrellas, in flimsy chairs with drinks in hand
They wonder when the fun begins, buffeted by cover bands

Pre-Chorus:
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea

Chorus:
There's a judgment coming down
You'll never see it lurking
Till it grabs you by the feet
And never makes a sound

V2
Sacrificing hard-earned lives to feast on beachside barbecues
They iron out their wrinkled flaws, save and pay their daily dues
Just to get a little taste of life without control
The grace of angels on the waves, lured by hymns of alcohol

Pre-Chorus:
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea

Chorus:
There's a judgment coming down
You'll never see it lurking
Till it grabs you by the feet
And never makes a sound

Bridge:
They stand upon the sands of time on an ever-shifting shore
Reaching for eternity -- they just want a little more

Outro:
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea
Riptide is a waiting beast, underneath the churning sea
