Lyrics: Carbon Leaf. American Tale.

Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
Shot, take it in, shot of indigo

American tale
What if we march us to the grave?
Or we make reason, an act of treason?

Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
New world scheme, build, but go slow, higher life
Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
New world scheme, build, but go slow, higher life

American tale, one hand free, one on the rail
What if we march us to the grave?
What if we make reason, an act of treason?
Fear drags hope back to the cave

Take it in, take it indigo
Shout, take it out, shout, the end and go for higher life
Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
New world scheme, build, but, go slow, higher life

Shot, take it in, shot of indigo
Shout, take it out, shout, the end and go for higher life
Take it in, take it indigo
New world scheme, build, but go slow, higher life

American tale, one hand free, one on the rail
What if we march us to the grave?
Or we make freedom, an act of treason?
Fear drags hope back to the cave
