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 head a fills a vacant bed,
And the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the days 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 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 deep down deep 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 deep it

We watched an stray to the edge of it's world, a lily pad stretched over a green mirror
In which the ghost carp swirl like clouds 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 to hold onto something that's real.
Nothing left, nowhere to go, no open road washed away by swollen streams,
off downriver with all my broken dreams.

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

A tethered goat bleats from the 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 tired of asked if I could say that I was happy now,
As if you me to convince you that everything's ok.
Would you take me

deep 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 keep asking, am I happy now?
Why can't you tell me that I'm happy now? are you now?
Happy 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 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 full of rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush,
An of the future and a belly full of the past, how beautiful the present when you know it cannae 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 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 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 were out on 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, raised up your 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 endless night, as well be wishing on stars

4. raingods

Empty churches, empty pews, in the nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound 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 nothing left except a surrounding emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain,
I see my shining.

Raingods with zippo's, a 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 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 rain will wash away, I sense the arriving.

Raingods with zippo's, a tin man away and slowly falls apart,
Raingods zippo's and all he leaves 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,
Raised from the 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 spark of life to touch the fuse and these clouds away,
I can it happen, if I want to,
it happen, if I try,
Forgive, forget, forever never means as much as it today,
Make it happen, we can it happen, we can make it happen.

When I wake up, 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 it happen, make it happen,
Forgive, forget, forever means today, make it happen, we can it happen,
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, means today,
it happen.
