Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

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

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

A crowded room of by and in the shadows strangers cry, and the ghosts try to hide,
When the rains come, when the storms form, when I 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, deep, down, deep 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, deep 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 carp swirl clouds before a storm.
is the season of the rains,
is incoming.

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

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep deep, deep, digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep down, down, down, down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, it digging it, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, 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 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 me to convince you that everything's ok.
Would you me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, 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 now? you keep asking, asking am I now?
Why can't you me that I'm happy now? are you happy now?
Happy happy now?

2. frogs

The 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 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 will fall and remove their dreams and hopes 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 full of rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush,
An eyefull of the future and a full of the past, how beautiful the present when you know it cannae last.

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

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

3- at stars.

You cracked up too soon the punchline hit home 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, waving at cars, waving from bars, from aeroplanes,
Might as be waving at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home, up your zippo and opened the skies till 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. raingods

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

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

Raingods zippo's, a tinman hides 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 life that died, a of a plague of ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories, a shelter of self-pity that I the rain will wash away, I sense the storm arriving.

with zippo's, a tin man rusts away and slowly 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 found beginnings, not a vision, a up call,
from the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all
And my eyes were opened to the darkness, in my hand a flame,
A of life to touch the fuse and blow these clouds away,
I can it happen, if I want 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.

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