I don't ever want to die

Do you know this arrow when it arches high

To meet the eagle in the sky?
[Verse 2]
Cm7 Gm7 Cm7
The eagle flies using the river as a map
Gm7 Cm7
A small animal in its clasp
Gm7 Cm7
Alive and enjoying the ride
[Verse 3]
Cm7
Is life a ride to ride
Gm7 Cm7
Or a story to shape and confide
Gm7 Cm7
Or chaos neatly denied?
[Verse 4]
Cm7
Some people find the taste of Pilgrim guts to be too strong
Gm7 Cm7
Me, I find I can't get by without them for too long

Tear at the flesh, tear at the bone
Gm7 Cm7
Of anyone who'll tell you the known is unknown
[Verse 5]

Cause life ain't confidential, no no no

It's not
Cm7 Gm7 Cm7
And it ain't confidential, no no no

Ride my arrow

Ride my arrow

Ride my arrow

The land I love is splitting in two

Again and again and again

War muddies the river

And getting out we're dirtier than getting in
[Out-Chorus]
Cm7
Ride my arrow
Gm7 Cm7
Ride my arrow
