I Stood Upon A Pinhead

I stood upon a pinhead
And balanced on it fine
Until I felt the pin push up
To the center of my spine

And Death was close behind
I heard the soldier's drumming
That would take us to the line

I heard the children weeping
With their mothers going blind
From the grief that filled them
And the horror of the crime

I felt the tide arising
That would drown us in it's brine
I knew that what was coming
Would be the ending of our time

I stood upon a pinhead
And balanced on it fine
Until I felt the pin push up
To the center of my spine
