《The Soul Cages》歌词

[00:00:20] The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard

[00:00:24] There's a bloodless moon where the ocean died

[00:00:29] A shoal of nightstars hang fire in the nets

[00:00:32] And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie

[00:00:38] Where is the fisherman where is the goat

[00:00:42] Where is the keeper in his carrion coat

[00:00:46] Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies

[00:00:52] Where is the child with his father's eyes

[00:01:06] He's the king of the ninth world

[00:01:10] The twisted son of the fog bells toll

[00:01:14] In each and every lobster cage

[00:01:19] A tortured human soul

[00:01:24] These are the souls of broken factories

[00:01:28] The subject slaves of the broken crown

[00:01:33] The dead accounting of old guilty promises

[00:01:38] These are the souls of the broken town

[00:01:42] These are the soul cages

[00:01:47] These are the soul cages

[00:01:52] These are the soul cages

[00:01:56] These are the soul cages

[00:02:19] 'I have a wager' the brave child spoke

[00:02:22] The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke

[00:02:26] 'You will drink what I drink but you must equal me

[00:02:31] And if the drink leaves me standing

[00:02:34] A soul shall go free'

[00:02:36] 'I have here a cask of most magical wine

[00:02:40] A vintage that blessed every ship in the line

[00:02:45] It's wrung from the blood of the sailor's who died

[00:02:49] Young white bodies adrift in the tide'

[00:02:54] 'And what's in it for me my pretty young thing

[00:02:59] Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings

[00:03:03] If you lose a wager with the king of the sea

[00:03:07] You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'

[00:03:14] These are the soul cages

[00:03:18] These are the soul cages

[00:03:23] These are the soul cages

[00:03:27] These are the soul cages

[00:03:31] A body lies open in the fisherman's yard

[00:03:35] Like the side of a ship where the iceberg rips

[00:03:40] One less soul in the soul cages

[00:03:45] One last curse on the fisherman's lips

[00:03:50] These are the soul cages

[00:03:55] These are the soul cages

[00:03:59] These are the soul cages

[00:04:04] These are the soul cages

[00:04:08] These are the soul cages

[00:04:13] These are the soul cages

[00:04:18] He dreamed of the ship on the sea

[00:04:23] It would carry his father and he

[00:04:27] To a place they could never be found

[00:04:32] To a place far away from this town

[00:04:37] A Newcastle ship without coals

[00:04:41] They would sail to the island of souls
