The coldest night came in in Spring
The final frost will slay 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 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

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
