Luyện nghe bài hát Plague of Ghosts

(I) old

I found a home in the darkness, a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness,
Empty stomach empty head a body fills a bed,
And the rolls by, and the rains 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 of passers by and in the shadows strangers 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 deep in the darkness, digging it deep down deep down deep down it
in the darkness, digging 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 insect stray to the edge of it's world, a pad stretched over a green mirror
In which the ghost carp swirl like clouds a storm.
is the season of the rains,
is incoming.

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

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 it
Deep in the darkness, it deep, digging it digging it, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep down, 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 wings throwing shadows into the grass where the scorpions hide.
The are running 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 convince you everything's ok.
Would you take me

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

Are you happy now? you keep asking, asking am I happy
Why can't you tell me I'm happy now? are you happy now?
Happy now? 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 they're thrown up by the surf 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 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 surround them. and while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness

A heid full of frogs, a body 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 it cannae last.

A tumblerful of voddie, two in a glass, a handful of promises, a heart full of remorse,
Mindful of manners when you're brought 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 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 out for a deal for a heid full of chocolate frogs what can you give to me?
What did you to me?
What did you to me?
What did you 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, from aeroplanes,
Might as well be at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home, raised up your zippo and opened the skies till the crowd away, at the end of the day, you ran out of light,
Praying for rain, praying for signs, praying for time, 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 out the sound of raingod's dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the flood when all I had to do was recognise the love 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.

with zippo's, a tinman hides a broken heart,
Raingods with zippo's, he the flame has gone that soon he'll fall 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 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 rusts and slowly falls apart,
Raingods zippo's and all he leaves behind a bleeding broken heart.

(part ii) the wake -up (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 were opened to the darkness, in my hand a 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, never means as much as it does today,
Make it happen, we can it happen, we can make it happen.

When I wake up, will you be it can never be the same.
If we can take our lives slowly, step by step, we can be in the rain,
We can it happen, we can make 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.
