Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't ever want to die
Do ya know this arrow when it arches high
To meet the eagle in the sky?
[Verse 2]
The eagle flies using the river as a map
A small animal in its clasp
Alive and enjoyin' the ride
Is life a ride to ride
Or a story to shape and confide
Or chaos neatly denied?
[Verse 3]
And some people find the taste of Pilgrim guts to be too strong
Me, I find I can't get by without them for too long
Tear at the flesh, tear at the bone
Of anyone who tells you the known is unkown
'Cause life ain't confidential, no, no, no
It's not, it isn't, and it ain't confidential, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
I ride my arrow
I ride my arrow
Ride my arrow
The land I love is splittin' in two again
And again, and again
War muddies the river
And gettin' out we're dirtier than gettin' in
[Verse 5]
I ride my arrow
I ride my arrow
Ride my arrow
Ride my arrow
