Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

I found a in the darkness, found a home in the darkness, found 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 gone and I 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 passers by and in the shadows strangers cry, and the 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 down deep down deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, down deep, down, deep down digging it
in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, down, deep, down deep digging it

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

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

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

A tethered goat bleats the corner 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 tigers are out of jungle.

In the end I was tired of being 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, it deep, down, down, down, down, down, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, deep down, deep, deep, it,
Deep in the darkness, down, down, down, down, down, down it.

Are you happy now? you keep asking, asking am I happy
Why can't you tell me that I'm happy are you happy now?
Happy happy now?

2. frogs

The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions, pirouette and 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 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 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 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 down to knees,
A full of chocolate frogs is all you gave to me,
That's all you to me, that's all you gave to me,

A spoonful of miracles a nostril full of dust a lung full of virginia the needs we we must,
A pill to put your heart right a 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 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 out on your own,
Waving at trains, waving at cars, from bars, waving from aeroplanes,
Might as well be at stars,

You called out her name as the 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. raingods

Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves and the static on the 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 gave it all, I took it back and in the end there's nothing left except a shell emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain,
I see my shining.

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

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

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

In the end I beginnings, not a vision, a wake up call,
Raised from the dead by a beating heart and at 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 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 wake up, will you be 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, forever means today, make it happen, we can it happen,
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, forever today,
it happen.
