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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A tortured human soul[00:01:19]

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

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

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

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

These are the soul cages[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]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These are the soul cages[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]

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

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

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

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

These are the soul cages[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]

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

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

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

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

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

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