Let The River In

(album: 7 Layers - 2014)

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.

Ooooooohhhh

(I hear the breaking of bricks and water,
I feel the rhythm of the water...)

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.

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
