[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

[00:33.05]And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
[00:38.65]Where is the fisherman, where is the goat

The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets

Where is the fisherman, where is the goat
