| [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 |
| [05:26.96] |
These are the soul cages |
| [05:36.13] |
These are the soul cages |
