It definitely has a gospel-y (if not churchy) feel to it. Especially the lines
One day death is gonna conquer me
I'll be down where the waters flow
I hope sweet heaven is the place for me
It sounds like something right out of a bluegrass or gospel song. Maybe even a slave spiritual. That sets up an interesting metaphor- slave to slave hunter and human to Death. I don't know if it is an original or not but it is good as always.
Coldplay, from time to time has used a sort of American southern sound, like in Til Kingdom Come, or Green Eyes (a little bit), but this is very evident of that style.
