Are you mad about Halloween? If you can´t wait to celebrate this spooky day start by
singing this song by The Cranberries, Zombie.  In spite of its title, the song doesn´t
talk about horrible creatures. Can you guess what it is about?
Click on the link below to listen to the song and then
complete with the missing words
 


 
guns bombs silence theme
bombs guns silence head me
 
 
“Zombie” (The Cranberries)

Another (1) _________ hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such (2) _________,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it’s not (3) _________, it’s not my
family.
In your head, in your head they are fi ghting,
With their tanks and their (4) _________,
And their bombs and their (5) _________.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou,
dou, dou...
Another mother’s breakin’,
Heart is taking over.
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It’s the same old (6) _________ since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they’re still fi ghting,
With their tanks and their (7) _________,
And their bombs and their (8) _________.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

 
The title of this song is a scary creature but the theme of the song is very different.
‘Zombie’ is a metaphor. Listen again. What do you think the song is about? Go to the

LEARNING WITH SONGS

Don ´t feel like studying this evening? 
 Relax for a few minutes and listen to this beautiful song from The Hobbit soundtrack 

 "No victory without suffering. No freedom without a sacrifice"
Ed Sheeran  -  I See Fire









Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
