[Intro]
\nHold back the water
\n(Hold it back!)
\nBuild up the wall
\n(Build up the wall!)
\nThink you’ve got nature
\nRight where you want her?
\nThen comes the rainfall…
\n(Reign fall)
\nAnd down comes it all!<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nStack up the concrete
\nPile up the stone
\nTell the river
\n“Stay in your zone”
\n(Yeah, leave us alone)
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nWater keeps rising
\n(The water keeps rising)
\nWater keeps rising
\n(The water keeps rising)<\/p>\n
… ain’t that surprising<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nDam!
\n(So there “I am”)
\nOr so I thought
\n(Therefore I was?)<\/p>\n
Damn!
\n(I mean gosh darn!)
\n… unneeded harm
\n(Should cause alarm)<\/p>\n
Washed away
\n(Back to yesterday)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nA wall of water
\nA wall of mud
\nA wall of debris
\nComing like a flood<\/p>\n
The river remembers
\nThe path to the sea
\nYou can change its direction
\nBut not her destiny<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nDam!
\n(So there “I am”)
\nOr so I thought
\n(Therefore I was?)<\/p>\n
Damn!
\n(I mean gosh darn!)
\n… unneeded harm
\n(Should cause alarm)<\/p>\n
Washed away
\n(Back to yesterday)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]<\/p>\n
Dam!<\/p>\n
(Damn!)<\/p>\n
Dam!<\/p>\n
(Damn!)<\/p>\n
One little word
\nTwo meanings collide<\/p>\n
One holds the water
\nOne asks us why<\/p>\n
Thought we could trust it?
\n(Watch our actions bust it?)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\nHold!<\/p>\n
(Hold!)<\/p>\n
Back!<\/p>\n
(Back!)<\/p>\n
Rise!<\/p>\n
(Rise!)<\/p>\n
Crack!<\/p>\n
(Crack!)<\/p>\n
Then\u2014<\/p>\n
Whoosh!<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Heavy drums \/ distorted bass \/ guitar]<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nDam!
\n(So there “I am”)
\nOr so I thought
\n(Therefore I was?)<\/p>\n
Damn!
\n(I mean gosh darn!)
\n… unneeded harm
\n(Should cause alarm)<\/p>\n
Washed away
\n(Back to yesterday)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nYesterday…<\/p>\n
(Yesterday…)<\/p>\n
The dam was there
\n(The damn unaware)<\/p>\n
Today…
\n(The dam gave way)<\/p>\n
Today…
\n(The damn came to stay)<\/p>\n
[Drum hit]<\/p>\n
Dam!<\/p>\n
