《The Soul Cages》歌词:
[00:20.40]The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
[00:25.04]There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
[00:29.40]A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets
[00:33.05]And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
[00:38.65]Where is the fisherman, where is the goat
[00:43.18]Where is the keeper in his carrion coat
[00:46.92]Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
[00:52.35]Where is the child with his father's eyes
[00:56.69]
[01:06.19]He's the king of the ninth world
[01:10.60]The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
[01:13.71]In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
[01:24.02]These are the souls of the broken factories
[01:28.65]The subject slaves of the broken crown
[01:33.32]The dead accounting of old guilty promises
[01:37.86]These are the souls of the broken town
[01:43.60]These are the soul cages
[01:48.08]These are the soul cages
[01:52.42]These are the soul cages
[01:57.19]These are the soul cages
[02:01.16]
[02:19.07]'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke “
[02:23.33]The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
[02:27.46]'You will drink what I drink
[02:29.34]But you must equal me
[02:31.49]And if the drink leaves me standing
[02:34.22]A soul shall go free'
[02:36.77]'I have here a cask of most magical wine
[02:41.28]A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
[02:45.23]It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
[02:50.02]Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
[02:54.87]'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
[02:59.29]Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
[03:03.38]If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
[03:07.88]You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
[03:14.40]These are the soul cages
[03:18.38]These are the soul cages
[03:23.27]These are the soul cages
[03:27.92]These are the soul cages
[03:31.19]A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
[03:36.24]The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
[03:40.27]One less soul in the soul cages
[03:45.06]One last curse on the fisherman's lips
[03:50.67]These are the soul cages
[03:55.01]These are the soul cages
[03:59.53]These are the soul cages
[04:04.12]These are the soul cages
[04:08.98]These are the soul cages
[04:13.53]These are the soul cages
[04:18.53]And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
[04:23.04]It would carry his father and he
[04:27.52]To a place they could never be found
[04:32.20]To a place far away from this town
[04:37.19]A Newcastle ship with no coals
[04:41.20]They would sail to the island of souls
[04:47.22]
[05:08.72]These are the soul cages
[05:17.79]These are the soul cages
[05:26.96]These are the soul cages
[05:36.13]These are the soul cages
[00:20.40]可怜的男孩被锁在渔夫的院子里
[00:25.04]惨白的月亮挂在死寂的海面上
[00:29.40]天上的星星在网中眨着眼睛
[00:33.05]捕龙虾的笼子一片狼藉
[00:38.65]渔夫去了哪里,替罪羊去了哪里
[00:43.18]那个穿着腐臭外套的看守去了哪里
[00:46.92]夜鸟飞起的时候月蚀吞没了月亮
[00:52.35]那个眼睛像他父亲的孩子去了哪里
[00:56.69]
[01:06.19]他是第九世界里的王者
[01:10.60]是在浓雾和钟声中长大的孩子
[01:13.71]每个笼子里都是一个被拷问的灵魂
[01:24.02]那是这破败工厂中囚禁的灵魂
[01:28.65]那是这破败王权统治下的奴隶
[01:33.32]那是从未兑现过的愧疚诺言
[01:37.86]那是这破败城镇中游荡的灵魂
[01:43.60]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[01:48.08]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[01:52.42]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[01:57.19]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[02:01.16]
[02:19.07]我要跟你打个赌”,勇敢的孩子说
[02:23.33]渔夫不怀好意地笑着
[02:27.46]我喝什么你就喝什么
[02:29.34]你必须喝得跟我一样多
[02:31.49]如果喝完之后我还能站着
[02:34.22]你就必须释放一个灵魂
[02:36.77]我这儿有一大桶最神奇的酒
[02:41.28]它能保佑所有的航船一帆风顺
[02:45.23]它是用死去水手的鲜血酿成
[02:50.02]那些随波逐流的年轻苍白尸体
[02:54.87]那我能从中得到什么,我可爱的小东西
[02:59.29]我为什么要逗你这笼中的囚鸟开心
[03:03.38]如果你输给了海洋之王
[03:07.88]那你将永远待在笼子里面陪着我
[03:14.40]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:18.38]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:23.27]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:27.92]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:31.19]一具尸体躺在渔夫的院子里
[03:36.24]像一艘船被冰山撕裂了船体
[03:40.27]灵魂的牢笼中少了一个灵魂
[03:45.06]渔夫最后一次咒骂着自己
[03:50.67]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:55.01]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[03:59.53]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[04:04.12]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[04:08.98]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[04:13.53]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[04:18.53]他梦见海上有一艘船
[04:23.04]它能载着他的父亲和自己
[04:27.52]去一个他们从没去过的地方
[04:32.20]去一个远离这座城镇的地方
[04:37.19]那是艘不用烧煤的纽卡斯尔船
[04:41.20]他们将乘着它去往灵魂的岛屿
[04:47.22]
[05:08.72]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[05:17.79]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[05:26.96]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
[05:36.13]那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
