[ti:the soul cages] |
|
[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 |
