This day there's an underground river that none of us can see
And it flows through winding tunnels on its way to a tideless sea
And across that sea is an island, a paradise we are told
Where the toils of life are forgotten and they call it the island of souls
For only a soul can go there, a soul that's been set free
And it flows through winding tunnels on its way to a tideless sea
From the confines of our working life to find eternity
There are old men on a cage for his pigeons
But that's really where he kept his soul
And when he watched them fly, he would see himself
At least that's how it was told
But his soul was still trapped in the cage, son
While the birds they saw to the sky
He couldn't find his own way out
At least not till the day he died
Old man goes to the cage with the tools he's given
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun
The solitary madness is where he is driven
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words
It'd be easier speaking the language of birds
But to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
Our mind was a cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun
The solitary madness is where he is driven
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage, son
He took me there, but he is trapped in a hell
It's all he knows, it was all me, oh
Oh simplesmente
It's all he knows, it's all me, oh
Ah
you
