The coldest night
Came in the spring
The final frost
Was late againWe dried the roots,
Froze the shoots
Killed the flowers,
And stole the color from the sunOh, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it inOh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Let the river in
Nature plays
Nature winsYou held on to my hands
Like a vice
You turn the screw
Turn them whiteBut, there's a point
There's a limit
Where we break
The current finds the quickest waySo, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it inOh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Let the river in
Nature plays
Nature winsI hear the breaking of
Bricks and mortar
I feel the rhythm of the waterOh, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it inOh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Oh, let the river in
Nature plays
Nature wins
