Down in the oldest part of town the landlords sold

They walk the streets with hair o teeth and teeth of gold


They hang the cowboys and let the cattle roam

Ravens come to take your eyes and turn to stone



Coz the dam is broken and the river will flow again



They walk on borrowed land in single lines

Their gods were stolen and they're buried in the mines

Wolves will come calling for you with one warning sign

They'll cover your tracks and then they'll take over your mind



Coz the dam is broken and the river will flow again



Pick up your butcher knives and sing to your gun

The sands are sinking under armies on the run

Hide your head until the spell can be undone

Wash your bloody hands and see the world has just begun



Coz the dam is broken and the river will flow again
