歌词

[00:19.000] They say there's an underground river,
[00:23.000] That none of us can see,
[00:26.000] And it flows through winding tunnels,
[00:30.000] On its way to a tide-less sea.
[00:34.000] And across that sea is an island,
[00:37.000] A paradise we are told,
[00:42.000] Where the toils of life are forgotten,
[00:46.000] And they call it the Island of Souls.
[00:49.000] For only a soul can go there,
[00:52.000] A soul that's been set free,
[00:56.000] From the confines of a working life,
[00:59.000] To find eternity.
[01:03.000] Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
[01:07.000] But that's really where he kept his soul,
[01:10.000] And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
[01:14.000] Least that's how it was told.
[01:18.000] But his soul was still trapped in the cage son,
[01:22.000] While the birds they soared to the sky,
[01:28.000] But he couldn't find his own way out,
[01:33.000] Least not 'til the day he died.
[01:35.000] Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
[01:40.000] His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
[01:42.000] This solitary madness is where he is driven,
[01:46.000] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[01:52.000] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
[02:00.000] I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words,
[02:05.000] He'd be easier speaking the language of birds,
[02:08.000] For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done,
[02:13.000] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[02:17.000] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
[02:23.000] A man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
[02:27.000] His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
[02:30.000] The solitary madness is where he is driven,
[02:35.000] It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
[02:40.000] It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
