Let The River In

The coldest night came in the spring

The final frost was laid again

We draft the roof, froze the shoots, killed the flowers

And stole the colour from the sun

Oh, let the river in, burst the dams, and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins

You held on to my hands like a vice

You turn the screw, turn them right

But there's a point, there's a limit where we break

The current finds the quickest way

So let the river in, burst the dams, and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins

(I hear the breaking of bricks and walls)

(I feel the rhythm of the water)

I hear the breaking of bricks and walls

I feel the rhythm of the water

Oh, let the river in, burst the dams, and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Oh, let the river in, nature plays, nature wins

So let the river in, burst the dams, and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Oh, let the river in, nature plays, nature wins
