Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

I found a home in the darkness, a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness,
Empty stomach empty head a body a vacant bed,
And the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the gone and I wonder where I am.

Found a place in the darkness, a home in the darkness, in the darkness, home, in the darkness.

A crowded room of passers by and in the shadows cry, and the ghosts try to hide,
When the rains come, when the storms form, I wonder who I am in the darkness,
Home.

(ii) deep.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep down deep deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, deep down it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, it
Deep in the darkness, it down, deep down, deep, down deep digging it

We watched an insect stray to the of it's world, a lily pad stretched over a green mirror
In which the ghost swirl like clouds before a storm.
This is the of the rains,
is incoming.

And it came their was no cover, no place to hide,
Vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard to hold onto that's real.
Nothing left, nowhere to go, no open it's washed away by swollen streams,
Carried off downriver with all my dreams.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep down deep, deep, it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, down, down, down digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, digging it digging it, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep down, digging it.

A goat bleats from the corner of the graveyard where the lizards hang motionless as the angels of stone above them, their broken wings throwing long shadows into the grass where the scorpions hide.
The are running out of jungle.

In the end I was of being asked if I could say that I was happy now,
As if you need me to convince you everything's ok.
you take me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down deep, deep it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, down, it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, deep down, deep, deep, it,
Deep in the darkness, down, down, down, down, down, down it.

Are you happy now? you keep asking, am I happy now?
Why can't you tell me that I'm now? are you happy now?
now? happy now?

2. chocolate

The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions, pirouette and dance amongst the swirls and eddies in their final procession down the muddy river to the delta where they're thrown up by the surf onto sterile beaches or are in the roots of mangrove cathedrals of the islands that gather in the bay.

These are the arrivals on this new horizon that will be coveted by strangers who will deposit themselves on these shores to build towers to the heavens. the storm will come and the rains will fall and remove their dreams and hopes once again to the waters that surround them. and while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness

A heid full of frogs, a body full of rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush,
An eyefull of the future and a belly full of the past, how beautiful the present when you it cannae last.

A tumblerful of voddie, two fingers in a glass, a of promises, a heart full of remorse,
Mindful of your manners when you're brought down to knees,
A heid full of chocolate frogs is all you to me,
That's all you gave to me, all you gave to me,

A of miracles a nostril full of dust a lung full of virginia the needs we have we must,
A pill to put your heart right a out for a deal for a heid full of chocolate frogs what can you give to me?
What did you to me?
What did you to me?
What did you to me?

3- at stars.

You cracked up too soon before the punchline hit and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you.
You out on your own,
Waving at trains, at cars, waving from bars, waving from aeroplanes,
Might as be waving at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home, raised up your zippo and opened the skies the crowd melts away, at the end of the day, you ran out of light,
Praying for rain, praying for signs, praying for time, for endless night, might as well be wishing on stars

4. dancing

churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of raingod's dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the flood when all I had to do was recognise the love trapped inside.

I gave it all, I took it back and in the end there's nothing left except a shell surrounding and loneliness, a core of pain,
I see my shining.

Raingods with zippo's, a hides a broken heart,
Raingods with zippo's, he knows the flame has that soon he'll fall apart,

So I lay me to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift away to dreamless sleep, leave behind a life that died, a victim of a plague of ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories, a shelter of self-pity that I know the will wash away, I sense the storm arriving.

Raingods with zippo's, a tin man rusts away and falls apart,
Raingods with zippo's and all he behind a bleeding broken heart.

(part ii) the -up call (make it happen)

In the end I beginnings, not a vision, a wake up call,
Raised the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all
And my eyes opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame,
A spark of life to touch the and blow these clouds away,
I can it happen, if I want to,
it happen, if I try,
Forgive, forget, forever never means as as it does today,
Make it happen, we can make it happen, we can it happen.

When I wake up, you be there? it can never be the same.
If we can take our slowly, step by step, we can be dancing in the rain,
We can make it happen, we can make it happen, it happen,
Forgive, forget, forever today, make it happen, we can make it happen,
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, forever today,
it happen.
