The boy child is locked in the fisherman?s yardThere?s a bloodless moon where the oceans dieA shoal of nightstars hang fire in the netsAnd the chaos of cages where the crayfish lieWhere is the fisherman, where is the goat?Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird fliesWhere is the child with his father?s eyes?These are the soul cagesThese are the soul cagesHe?s the king of the ninth worldThe twisted son of the fog bells tollIn each and every lobster cageA tortured human soulThese are the souls of the broken factoriesThe subject slaves of the broken crownThe dead accounting of old guilty promisesThese are the souls of the broken townThese are the soul cagesThese are the soul cages?I have a wager,? the brave child spokeThe fisherman laughed, though disturbed at the joke?You will drink what I drink, but you must equal meAnd if the drink leaves me standing, a soul shall go free??I have here a cask of most magical wineA vintage that blessed every ship in the lineIt?s wrung from the blood of the sailors who diedYoung, white bodies adrift in the tide??And what?s in it for me, my pretty young thing?Why should I whistle, when the caged bird sings?If you lose a wager with the king of the seaYou?ll spend the rest of forever in the cage withThese are the soul cagesThese are the soul cagesA body lies open in the fisherman?s yardLike the side of a ship where the iceberg ripsOne less soul in the soul cagesOne last curse on the fisherman?s lipsThese are the soul cagesThese are the soul cagesSwim to the lightSwim to the lightHe dreamed of the ship on the seaIt would carry his father and heTo a place they could never be foundTo a place far away from this townA Newcastle ship without coalsThey would sail to the island of souls
