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 empty head a body fills a vacant bed,
And the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the days and I wonder where I am.

Found a place in the darkness, 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 down deep digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, down digging it
in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep, deep digging it

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

And it came their was no cover, no place to hide,
Vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard to hold onto that's real.
Nothing left, nowhere to go, no 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, digging it deep, digging it digging it, 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 as the angels of stone above them, their broken wings 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 say that I was happy now,
As if you need me to you that everything's ok.
Would you me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, it deep, down deep, down deep, deep digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, down, down, down, down, down, digging 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 can't you me that I'm happy now? are you happy now?
Happy 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 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 once again to the waters that 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 and a belly 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,
of your manners when you're brought down to your knees,
A heid full of frogs is all you gave to me,
That's all you gave to me, all you gave to me,

A spoonful of miracles a nostril of dust a lung full of virginia the needs we have we must,
A to put your heart right a nose out for a deal 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 cracked up too soon before the punchline hit 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, waving aeroplanes,
Might as well be 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 night, might as well be wishing on stars

4. dancing

Empty churches, empty pews, in the nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of raingod's dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the 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 with zippo's, a hides 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 away 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 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 and all he leaves behind a bleeding broken heart.

(part ii) the wake -up (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 were opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame,
A spark of life to the fuse and blow these clouds away,
I can make it happen, if I to,
it happen, if I try,
Forgive, forget, forever never means as much as it today,
it happen, we can make it happen, we can make it happen.

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