The coldest night

Came in the spring

The final frost

Was late again We dried the roots,

Froze the shoots

Killed the flowers,

And stole the color 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 white 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 mortar

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
