ArtistLet the river run Let all the dreamers wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights the streets that lead them And sirens call them on with a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the darkening dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the colour of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Instrumental It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run (Let the river run) Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers) Wake the nation (wake the nation) Come, the New Jerusalem
A detailed quilling artwork depicts a whimsical, steampunk-inspired city built from swirling and rolled paper strips, bathed in the soft glow of a sunrise or sunset. The city features intricate castle-like structures, domes, and buildings adorned with gears, cogs, and various other clockwork mechanisms. Numerous iridescent bubbles float across the sky, reflecting the colorful light. Wooden, skeletal figures with exposed sinews and muscles are integrated into the city's architecture and are also seen running along a winding path. Some figures have wings, including a larger winged figure on the left pointing towards the path, and a smaller angelic figure with wings soaring through the air. Flying machines resembling early aircraft made of wood with propellers and wings also navigate the sky. A river, intricately crafted from undulating blue and white paper strips, flows through the city, reflecting the light. There are bridges spanning the river, one of which glows with a star-like light and has the words "LET THE RIVER RUN" inscribed on it. Another prominent part of the riverbank has "NEW JERUSALEM" written on a paper banner. The overall scene is fantastical and detailed, blending mechanical elements with human and mythical figures, all rendered in a unique paper quilling style.
