Throw Down A Line

Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Who's a-drownin' in a stormy see
Throw down a ling, help a poor boy
Who's a-hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me

Men are tied in chains of silence
I look on violence, up, fown, left and right
Is there no hope of light
The peaceful hand that once caressed me
Hurts like the rest because it's turned to stone
talons of steel have grown

Se the moon it's getting nearer
But no more clearer than the earth below
What do we really know
I feel the stab of pain returning
despair is burning in my heart again
who don't they see the end
