[Intro]
(Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
(Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river

[Verse 1]
I wanna live a life like that
Live the life of the faithful one
Wanna bow to the floor
With everybody else wanna be someone
I wanna make some love
I don't want no enemies
Oh, it's the curse of the man
Always living life, living life, living just to please

[Chorus]
Oh, the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
And the wrath of the giver (Woah, now)
With the hands of a sinner (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm alkaline
I'm always keeping to the basics
I'm overboard
I'm self-destructive
And self-important
And I'm anxious
Oh, I'm self-assured
I'm nervous
And I'm pacing, oh, I'm pacing

[Chorus]
Oh, the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
And the wrath of the giver (Woah, now)
With the hands of a sinner (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river

[Post-Chorus]
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river, river, river
Oh, the mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river, river, river
Oh, the mouth of the river

[Bridge]
And I am going under
Oh, I am going under
I am going under
Oh, I am going under
I am going under
Oh, I

[Chorus]
Oh, the mouth of the river (Woah, now)
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
Oh, the mouth of the river
Oh, the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver (Woah, now)
With the hands of a sinner (Woah, now)
Oh, the mouth of the river

[Outro]
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river, river, river
Oh, the mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mou-, mouth of the river
Mou-, mou-, mouth of the river, river, river
Oh, the mouth of the river

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
