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
