Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

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

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

A crowded of passers by and in the shadows strangers 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 down deep down it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, down digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, down, down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep, down digging it

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

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

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

A tethered 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 where the scorpions hide.
The tigers are out of jungle.

In the end I was tired of being asked if I could say that I was now,
As if you need me to convince you that ok.
Would you take me

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

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

2. frogs

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 up by the surf onto sterile beaches or are trapped in the roots of mangrove cathedrals of the islands that gather in the bay.

These are the first 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 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 chocolate frogs, a body of rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush,
An eyefull of the future and a belly full of the past, how the present when you know it cannae last.

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

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

3- at stars.

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

Empty churches, 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 how it was before the flood when all I had to do was recognise the love that's trapped inside.

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

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

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

Raingods zippo's, a tin man rusts away and slowly falls apart,
Raingods with zippo's and all he leaves 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 from the dead by a beating heart and at I can see it all
And my eyes were to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame,
A spark of to touch the fuse and blow these clouds away,
I can make it happen, if I to,
it happen, if I try,
Forgive, forget, forever means as much as it does today,
Make it happen, we can make it happen, we can it happen.

I wake up, will you be there? it can never be the same.
If we can take our lives slowly, by step, we can be dancing in the rain,
We can it happen, we can make it happen, make 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.
