River Queen

There's a river
She's the queen
Running from
Mountains so clean
Flowing down
White as a bride
People know her
Seductive and wild

Still we love
Her eternal pulse
We are frightened
When she reminds us
Of the power
That she holds
Treat her gently
She's got her own soul

From time to time
The queen is running wild
And sometimes crying
Just like a child
From time to time
She decorates
The walls around
And celebrates

One day she became
This raging thing
That no one's ever seen before
Like hell came raining down
From above
What had she become

She tore down the town
While she screamed out loud
Black rain poured down from the clouds
The message was clear
The queen will decide
It's not to be misunderstood

From time to time
The queen is running wild
And sometimes crying
Just like a child
From time to time
She decorates
Her walls around
And she celebrates

There's a river
She's the queen
Still running from
Mountains so clean
She's so beautiful
But she can be mean
Still we love her
She's the river queen
