Well, it's a season of thunder
And a season of rain
All the little angels
Are growing wings of pain
And I see no point in asking
There's no point of return
When I steal his rings
Well, I know I'll have to burn

He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
He said
You
Bring me down, oh child

And I will fly through the lightness
When the thunder will strike
All tomorrow's parties
Will dance before my eyes
And I will scream like an eagle
When I fly 'bove your house
Just to bring salvation to peasants and their wives

He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
I ain't gonna walk the line

Well, I see Jesus and Judas
Making love now of course
And all the Roman emperors
Hanging up their horse
And I see no point in landing
I see no need to learn
From the day we lifted
We know we'll have to burn

He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
I ain't gonna walk the line

I said
Please
Don't shoot me down
I said
Please
Don't shoot me down
I said
Please
Don't shoot me down
I said
Please
Don't shoot me down
Oh, I ain't gonna walk the line

I feel the arrows and bullets
They are combing my hair
And all my feathers falling so slowly from the air
And from the speed on my body
Earth will pile up my bones
From a little skull
Oh, just a little whisper comes

He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
He said
You
Bring me down, oh child
I ain't gonna walk the line
