Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

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

(ii) deep.

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

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

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

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

Are you happy now? you asking, asking am I happy now?
Why you tell me that I'm happy 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 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 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 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 beautiful the present when you know it last.

A of voddie, two fingers in a glass, a handful of promises, a heart full of remorse,
Mindful of your manners when you're brought 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 a lung full of virginia the needs we have we must,
A pill to put your heart 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 before the punchline hit home and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was with you.
You were out on own,
Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving bars, waving from aeroplanes,
as well be waving at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home, raised up your zippo and opened the skies till the melts away, at the end of the day, you ran out of light,
for rain, praying for signs, praying for time, praying 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 of raingod's dancing,
playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember 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 left except a shell surrounding emptiness 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 gone 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 victim of a 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.

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

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

In the end I beginnings, not a vision, a wake up call,
from the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all
And my eyes were to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame,
A spark of life to 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 it happen, we can make it happen.

When I up, will 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 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.
