The Soul Cages
4
The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
5
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
6
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nest
7
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
8
Where is the fisherman, where is the goat,
9
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
10
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
11
Where is the child with his father's eyes?
12
He's the king of the ninth world
13
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
14
In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
15
These are the souls of the broken factories
16
The subject slaves of the broken crown
17
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
18
These are the souls of the broken town
19
These are the soul cages
20
These are the soul cages
21
These are the soul cages
22
These are the soul cages
23
'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke
24
The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
25
'You will drink what I drink
26
But you must equal me,
27
And if the drink leaves me standing,
28
A soul shall go free'
29
'I have here a cask of most magical wine
30
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
31
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
32
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
33
'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
34
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
35
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
36
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
37
These are the soul cages
38
These are the soul cages
39
These are the soul cages
40
These are the soul cages
41
A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
42
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
43
One less soul in the soul cages
44
One last curse on the fisherman's lips
45
These are the soul cages
46
These are the soul cages
47
These are the soul cages
48
These are the soul cages
49
These are the soul cages
50
And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
51
It would carry his father and he
52
To a place they could never be found
53
To a place far away from this town
54
A Newcastle ship with no coals
55
They would sail to the island of souls
