[00:20.40] | The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard |
[00:25.04] | There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die |
[00:29.40] | A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets |
[00:33.05] | And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie |
[00:38.65] | Where is the fisherman, where is the goat |
[00:43.18] | Where is the keeper in his carrion coat |
[00:46.92] | Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies |
[00:52.35] | Where is the child with his father's eyes |
[00:56.69] | |
[01:06.19] | He's the king of the ninth world |
[01:10.60] | The twisted son of the fog bells' toll |
[01:13.71] | In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul |
[01:24.02] | These are the souls of the broken factories |
[01:28.65] | The subject slaves of the broken crown |
[01:33.32] | The dead accounting of old guilty promises |
[01:37.86] | These are the souls of the broken town |
[01:43.60] | These are the soul cages |
[01:48.08] | These are the soul cages |
[01:52.42] | These are the soul cages |
[01:57.19] | These are the soul cages |
[02:01.16] | |
[02:19.07] | 'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke “ |
[02:23.33] | The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke |
[02:27.46] | 'You will drink what I drink |
[02:29.34] | But you must equal me |
[02:31.49] | And if the drink leaves me standing |
[02:34.22] | A soul shall go free' |
[02:36.77] | 'I have here a cask of most magical wine |
[02:41.28] | A vintage that blessed every ship in the line |
[02:45.23] | It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died |
[02:50.02] | Young white bodies adrift in the tide' |
[02:54.87] | 'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing? |
[02:59.29] | Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings? |
[03:03.38] | If you lose a wager with the king of the sea |
[03:07.88] | You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me' |
[03:14.40] | These are the soul cages |
[03:18.38] | These are the soul cages |
[03:23.27] | These are the soul cages |
[03:27.92] | These are the soul cages |
[03:31.19] | A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like |
[03:36.24] | The side of a ship where the iceberg rips |
[03:40.27] | One less soul in the soul cages |
[03:45.06] | One last curse on the fisherman's lips |
[03:50.67] | These are the soul cages |
[03:55.01] | These are the soul cages |
[03:59.53] | These are the soul cages |
[04:04.12] | These are the soul cages |
[04:08.98] | These are the soul cages |
[04:13.53] | These are the soul cages |
[04:18.53] | And he dreamed of a ship on the sea |
[04:23.04] | It would carry his father and he |
[04:27.52] | To a place they could never be found |
[04:32.20] | To a place far away from this town |
[04:37.19] | A Newcastle ship with no coals |
[04:41.20] | They would sail to the island of souls |
[04:47.22] | |
[05:08.72] | These are the soul cages |
[05:17.79] | These are the soul cages |
