| [ar:sting] | |
| [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 |
