They're netted by their strings,

Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings.

Outside the cage I see my Brother John,

He turns his head so slowly round.

I cry out Help! before he can be gone,

And he looks at me without a sound.

And I shout out 'John please help me!'

But he does not even want to try to speak.
Eb Bb
I'm helpless in my violent rage
