Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

I found a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness, found a in the darkness,
Empty stomach empty head a body a vacant bed,
And the thunder rolls by, and the 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 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 down down digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, down deep, down, deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, 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 lily pad stretched a green mirror
In which the ghost swirl like clouds before a storm.
This is the of the rains,
is incoming.

And when it came their was no cover, no to hide,
Vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard to hold onto something real.
left, nowhere to go, no open road it's washed away by swollen streams,
Carried off with all my broken 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, digging it deep, 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 throwing long shadows into the grass 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 you that everything's ok.
Would you take me

Digging in the darkness, digging 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, 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?
Happy now? happy

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 come and the rains will fall and remove their dreams and 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 full of rush, a 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 handful of promises, a full of remorse,
Mindful of your manners when you're brought down to knees,
A heid full of frogs is all you gave to me,
That's all you to me, that's 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 nose out for a for a heid full of chocolate frogs 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 up too soon before the punchline hit home and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you.
You were out on own,
Waving at trains, at cars, waving from bars, waving from aeroplanes,
as well be waving at stars,

You called out her as the darkness hit home, raised 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, praying for night, might as well be wishing on stars

4. dancing

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

So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift 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 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 bleeding heart.

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

In the end I found beginnings, not a vision, a up call,
Raised from the dead by a beating 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 fuse and blow these away,
I can make it happen, if I 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, will you be 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 means today, it happen, we can make it happen,
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, means today,
it happen.
