Luyện nghe bài hát Something Wicked This Way Comes

[m/l van

[Part I:

October's a month for boys
When life is simple, pure and
And the youth can overlook
The outside the door

hear a tale of Halloween
And one not long past
Jim Nightshade and Will
Would never be quite so young

Fury, the seller of lightning rods, foretells the storm
The light's on in the library, beneath the sky
Charles Halloway sits inside, surrounded by his books
A serious, lonely and sad old man youth has passed him by

And Jim and conspire
To the carousel
set their souls afire
Could send straight to Hell

II: Torments]

Far away, but too close for comfort
Carnival's calliope is
Halloway sits in the darkened
dark thoughts
Son at home he doesn't know
Fifty-four years so very old
the carnival's ad in the fire
Flames higher

after midnight, children awake
Journeys await them, to take
Run through the to the carnival grounds
to ride the merry-go-round

Three AM is for the soul
Never is a man so to death
The house of temptation is at
Souls are

What's the purpose of a life of
What you don't know certainly can you
step he made he second-guessed
Life of

out of order, no one's around
Hardly a whisper, hardly a
Thinking that they're alone, but not
Gloved hands encircle, now they are

III: The Carnival]

Late that night the boys
Watched the spin 'round
Turning old man young
Bringing to town

Carousel turns and
Years can and time can burn
accomplice, age reversed
Now a boy accursed

Jim and stumble in
To this world of sin
Forward the carousel
Cooger ages, dies and to hell

Mister Dark at once
the boys have seen too much
As call for the police
He and the witch
For their plan to be

return with the law
Try to them what they saw
The witch her voice and the old, dead man
to come to life again

The ruse has worked, no one the
Tales of what the have seen
The witch locks eyes; they fear her
She wishes a "short sad life for both!"

[Part IV:

Late that night the takes to the sky above the town
Searching for the who know the secret of the carousel
A black of circus freaks, and led by Mister Dark,
Scours every street for the boys to them down to hell

The boys seen too much
And now their death will be silence
The have caskets fashioned for the little boys who hid
And Mister Dark the procession, seeing the librarian,
He asks him who the boys are; with rage as the old man lies

[Part V: The Autumn

that night inside the town's old library
Circled by arcane and books
Scouring them for any of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

A father's son who know his dad
he wishes that he had
As he sees that old lonely man
Could be they the only they have

The Carnival has here many times
Its history is found the lines
Comes by every years or so
Since more than two hundred ago

They feast upon the and fears of men
Promise you just what you want and
When they're through steal your very soul
you in their sideshow

And as the church bell
They hear the door
The boys hide for their
As Dark arrives

[Part VI:

Tearing at his
To take a second
To the wrongs
To live

No

No more as a
Man to old to his son

He turns the offer
Not willing to exchange his
For what he the most

Mister
Charles' hand
And tells the witch to the man
A of precious death

(old man) Hear your
(old man) your hurt
(old man) See you're
(old man) your heart

[Part Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten closer to death
(Somehow) finding the courage to
(Laughter) searing in the face
(Laughter) burning her wicked
(Standing), he's beaten her back
(Smiling), the time is now
(Striding) into the street
(Knowing) that he can save them
(Mister Dark) the boys into the streets
(Will to be) made a toy for freaks
(Nightshade) to be his partner for
(After the) carnival's over
(Carnival): one last to see
(Shoot the witch): gypsy who die
(Mister Dark) gazes out over the for a
(Volunteer): someone to it a try

(Halloway) calls out from deep in the
(Mister Dark) cannot believe his
(Halloway) his hand picks up the gun
(To steady it) he calls for the of his son

VIII: Departures]

Far away, in the mirror maze
The town calls his name
And Will the spell
The dust witch placed his head

Halloway: and son
as one
As Mister Dark gives them the and
Charles carves a crescent moon

Mister Dark at the bullet
He doesn't yet under
The of what Charles has done
So he let's the proceed

But the moon he isn't a moon at all
It's his smile the bullet
And totem finds it's way
To the witch's

The gun and the
knows this and now is dead!

Chaos spreads, and and Will
Run to the maze to Jim
walks in
Confronted by of a million ancient men
back and making him older
A lifetime full of
A man who never his son
A man whose were never done

Halloway rises
The hall of mirrors
He picks up his son and runs him
Across the carnival

still upon the carousel
Charles and Will him down
boy appears saying
Mister gone
And the four of us give chase

looks at the strange young boy
He sees him for he is
Mister Dark made again by the
Power of the

Charles the boy up
Holds him close and his hatred
And grave determination
Lets his heart with love
for his and his son
And returns the hate with this love and it
courses
Dark's body
And he and dies

As the tents disappears
The three of them
laughing to town
Two and one middle-aged man
No longer quite so old as he

Far but much too close for comfort
Far away but much too for comfort
