Luyện nghe bài hát Condemned By Discontent

Centuries ago in an city,
a rich man dwindled in his own pity
cared- for what he said, inherited riches-
when his father no-one respected him-
he knew this, they all despised his deeds,
buying for his own use, slavery- and paid abuse,
children he for sex or toil, purchased them- from the poor.
He stopped the business, his father dead,
no-one could forgive him, just him instead,
now he yearned for power, could he do
he went searching for an answer, to the lair
he had to the stone carved city
the forest- of the wise and the lost,
seeking the of the almighty wizard
willing to pay- the cost.
He sees amongst the trees in the forest
a castle- with three darkened towers,
to the gates- he's eager to enter- suddenly feels-
very alive, the doors open- (a) calls him inside,
lamps lead the to a marble staircase,
the right way- so ascend he does,
there is a doorway- he a room.
The-wizard-stands-there-with-something-in-his-hands,
a mask made of silver.
"I-know-what-you-want"-he-says-"I've
I been dreaming.
Here is what you to gain the respect-
of those ignorant people, wear this and it will you power-
you have never before of.
The man stood surprised as he to the wizard-
he gave him ten of gold in return,
he ran to the city- with the in hand,
he left the forest- familiar land,
he couldn't to try it- put it on as soon as he was there,
anticipation- for so long he waited,
he entered- the of his town,
put on- the mask- looked around,
it felt- strange it was on his face,
as if- a transition was place,
then in- an instant- had changed,
people- passing by- not treating him the same,
some even- falling to their knees,
as if- he were- some of higher being.
he realised, there was something wrong,
he then desired, to off the mask,
but to his horror, it stuck to the face,
now it was his new skin, he never change.
he knew, that the wizard had tricked him, he had traded,
hatred for fear, now he would pay, for his biddings,
all he wanted, was to care.
He have traded all his riches just to be liked.
Now he be ignored and feared for the rest of his life.
