Loreena McKennitt - Breaking The Silence Lyrics
I hear some distant drumbeat
A heartbeat pulsing low
Is it coming from within
A heartbeat I don't know
A troubled heart knows no peace
Of liberty now lost
A pawn, an oppressor's tool
Oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within
A gunfire shatters silence
Where birds once sweetly sang
Now death where life began
From the troubled heart of South Africa
Nicaragua 's festering sore
The turmoil on the streets of china
Death crying out for more
A change is slow in coming
My eyes can scarcely see
The rays of hope come streaming
Through the smoke of apathy
But oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within
May the spirit never die
Though a troubled heart feels pain
When this long winter is over
It will blossom once again

Loreena McKennitt Breaking The Silence Comments
Haunting........ I love it..........
yeah loreena
Magnifique chanson de Loreena, que je regrette qu'elle ne l'interprète pas plus en public...
Le 29 juillet 2019 , Loreena est passée à Fourvière à LYON en France, des années que j'attendais désespérée, quel beau cadeau que mon époux m'a fait !
de votre voix enchanteresse et de votre présence délicate, nous avons passé un moment magique, Merci Madame MCKENNITT !
Música linda demais.
oh loreena you aaaaaaaare so beautfol woman, like fery tail
Ma chanson préférée de Loreena... qu'elle n'interprète malheureusement que rarement en public... J'y trouve une certaine ressemblance avec le "High Hopes" de David Gilmour (qui est plus tardif)
Love the intro love the song ..everyone love each other keep it cxxl ..we are all the same
Like animals, Loreena's music is a gift from God so that we humans can experience His Love.

LOREENA is more than an Illustrious Character of the Music.
LOREENA is a creative being of the best and highest Feeling of the Human Soul.
LOREENA is an absolutely sublime being in your vision of feelings.

WHO HEARS LOREENA, GIVE FOR LOST ALL THE TIME BACK AND TRAVELS TO ANOTHER WORLD. A UNIQUE WORLD.

This amazing song was used in NFB documentaries. Amazing....check out Goddess Remembered (1989), and Full Circle (1992).
For all oppressed, human and animal,held against their will.
beautiful song I known of her for a very longtime and she always moves me deeply to my soul
You make my love to burst onward, dearest sister.
Countless angels, no doubt, inspired you to sing this song.
May they never be apart from you.
My humble blessing go with you, oh, utmost blessed love-bringer.
For every time i hear you, i do recall Who's our Father...

Just as beautiful as this song, are all of our international brothers and sisters coming together with a common thread of love, peace and the inspiriation that music like this brings. Thank You
"Breaking The Silence"
I hear some distant drumbeat
A heartbeat pulsing low
Is it coming from within
A heartbeat I don't know
A troubled heart knows no peace
A dark and poisoned pool
Of liberty now lost
A pawn, an oppressor's tool
Oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within
A gunfire shatters silence
Where birds once sweetly sang
A mother cradles a child now dead
Now death where life began
From the troubled heart of South Africa
Nicaragua 's festering sore
The turmoil on the streets of china
Death crying out for more
A change is slow in coming
My eyes can scarcely see
The rays of hope come streaming
Through the smoke of apathy
But oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within
May the spirit never die
Though a troubled heart feels pain
When this long winter is over
It will blossom once again
oui elle le fait très bien
This is the most beautiful for me...the music, the lyrics...

i cried when iheard this song for the first time
So sorry... your comment is very touching and sad... and ironic.
Loreena McKennitt's fiance drowned in a boating accident some years back, many years after this recording was done. Her music touches that tender spot where our hurts and yearnings live and breath.
May your mate rest in peace my friend.
Her fiance, his brother and a common dear friend died in that incident.
me encantaria su traduccion , cre que habla algo de sudafrica por fabor a quien pueda!!!!
Escucho algo de tambor lejano
Un latido latente bajo
¿Viene de adentro?
Un latido que no conozco
Un corazón turbado no conoce la paz
Una piscina oscura y envenenada de libertad ahora perdida
Un peón, la herramienta de un opresor.
Oh mi corazón se fuerte
Y guía cuando los ojos se vuelven tenues
Cuando los oídos se vuelven sordos con palabras vacías
Cuando sé que hay vida dentro.
Un tiroteo rompe el silencio
Donde los pájaros alguna vez cantaron dulcemente
Una madre acuna a un niño ahora muerto
Ahora la muerte donde comenzó la vida
Desde el turbulento corazón de Sudáfrica
Dolor supurante de Nicaragua
La agitación en las calles de China
La muerte clama por más
Un cambio tarda en llegar
Mis ojos apenas pueden ver
Los rayos de esperanza vienen fluyendo
A través del humo de la apatía
Pero oh mi corazón se fuerte
Y guía cuando los ojos se vuelven tenues
Cuando los oídos se vuelven sordos con palabras vacías
Cuando sé que hay vida dentro.
Que el espíritu nunca muera
Aunque un corazón con problemas siente dolor
Cuando termine el largo invierno
Florecerá una vez más
@aadbind64 ...
Me Encanta Esta Musica!
This number reminds me the day that our mate going overboard and lost in the atlantic ocean. For me... this one is for all who are missing in the oceans all over the world. For all the missing seamen....R.I.P.
Most definately......I have two friends that rest in the Baltic
Yes , I've got it .. You can get lost in this natural beauty of things .
Peace love and understanding 💟
Although if I go to something ... My boat
Elle chante très très bien!!! <3
Me derrito con este tema. Es sublime!
Gracias, Loreena!!!!!
