Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad in Plain D

I loved a girl, her skin it was bronze
With the of a lamb, she was gentle like a fawn
I courted her but now she is gone
Gone as the she's taken

In a young summer's youth, I her away
her mother and sister, though close did they stay
Each one of them from the failures of their day
With strings of guilt tried hard to guide us

Of the two sisters, I the young
sensitive instincts, she was the creative one
The constant scrapegoat, she was undone
By the of others around her

For her sister, I had no respect
by her boredom, her pride to protect
Countless visions of the other she'd
As a crutch for her scenes and her

Myself, for what I did, I be excused
The changes I was through can't even be used
For the that I told her in hopes not to lose
The could-be of my lifetime

unseen consciousness, I possessed in my grip
A magnificent mantelpiece, though its heart chipped
Noticing not I'd already slipped
To the sin of love's false

From silhouetted anger to peace
of emptiness, voice vacancies
'Till the of damage read me no questions but, "Please
What's wrong and exactly the matter?"

And so it did happen like it could have foreseen
The timeless explosion of dream
At the peak of the night, the and the queen
Tumbled all into pieces

"The figure!" her sister did shout
"Leave her alone, god you, get out!"
And I in my armor, turning
And nailing her in the ruins of her

Beneath a bare light the plaster did pound
Her sister and I in a battleground
And she in between, the victim of
Soon shattered as a to the shadows

All is gone, all is gone, admit it, flight
I gagged in contradiction, tears my sight
My mind it was mangled, I ran into the
Leaving all of ashes behind me

The wind knocks my window, the it is wet
The to say I'm sorry, I haven't found yet
I of her often and hope whoever she's met
be fully aware of how precious she is

Ah, my friends the prison, they ask unto me
"How good, how good it feel to be free?"
And I answer most mysteriously
"Are birds free from the of the skyway?"
