Throw down a line, help a poor boy
A     G                      D
Who's drowning in the stormy sea

Who's hanging in a nowhere tree

Have you got a place for me

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

See the moon, it's getting nearer
F                            G 
But no more clearer than the earth below

What do we really know
Am
I feel the stab of pain returning
F                        G
Despair is burning in my heart again
