[00:19.70]The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
[00:22.46]There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
[00:26.87]A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nest
[00:32.45]And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
[00:38.31]Where is the fisherman,where is the goat,
[00:41.48]Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
[00:46.33]Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
[00:51.69]Where is the child with his father's eyes?
[00:56.30]He's the king of the ninth world
[01:09.91]The twisted son of the fog bells'toll
[01:14.42]In each and every lobster cage,a tortured human soul
[01:18.32]These are the souls of the broken factories
[01:28.12]The subject slaves of the broken crown
[01:32.79]The dead accounting of old guilty promises
[01:35.57]Sting
[01:37.23]These are the souls of the broken town
[01:43.40]These are the soul cages
[01:46.75]These are the soul cages
[01:51.13]These are the soul cages
[01:56.25]These are the soul cages
[02:00.92]'I have a wager,'the brave child spoke
[02:23.02]The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
[02:25.87]'You will drink what I drink
[02:28.53]But you must equal me,
[02:31.09]And if the drink leaves me standing,
[02:33.50]A soul shall go free'
[02:36.40]'I have here a cask of most magical wine
[02:40.89]A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
[02:43.89]It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
[02:49.31]Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
[02:53.82]'And what's in it for me,my pretty young thing?
[02:59.23]If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
[03:03.05]You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
[03:13.12]These are the soul cages
[03:18.17]These are the soul cages
[03:22.74]These are the soul cages
[03:27.20]These are the soul cages
[03:30.81]A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
[03:35.33]The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
[03:40.04]One less soul in the soul cages
[03:44.51]One last curse on the fisherman's lips
[03:50.43]These are the soul cages
[03:54.04]These are the soul cages
[03:58.76]These are the soul cages
[04:03.64]These are the soul cages
[04:08.19]These are the soul cages
[04:12.86]And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
[04:22.33]It would carry his father and he
[04:27.13]To a place they could never be found
[04:31.45]To a place far away from this town
[04:36.28]A Newcastle ship with no coals
[04:40.74]They would sail to the island of souls
