The coldest night came in in spring
The final frost was laid again
We draft the roof
Froze the shoes
Killed the flowers
And stole the colour from the sun

Oh let the river in
Burst the damns 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
Turn the screw, turn them white
But there's a point there's a limit where we brake
Couldn't find if it's the quickest way

Oh let the river in
Burst the damns 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 feel the breaking of bricks and water
I feel the rhythm of the water...)
I feel the breaking of bricks and water
I feel the rhythm of the water

Oh let the river in
Burst the damns 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

Oh let the river in
Burst the damns 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
