Runrig - Gabriel's Sword Lyrics






In the middle of the schoolyard
Where the bombs have lain to rest
There's a child in the darkness waiting

But the answers in the history books
Are slowly burning down
And the words that spell forgiveness
Wear a thorny crown

There is much that I have seen
In this world they say is free
That would make it almost seem untrue

Many times I've walked the line
Longing for the other side
The only thing that changed my mind was you

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more
I'll let my spirit soar so high
Sure as it all comes
From the father to the son
We've got to learn to speak the truth to fly
And it's a beautiful sky

  4. S.... D....

    It is a beautiful sky. And I and you are only two people. And it would take one friend for me to save it as a huge part of its contribution, and I'm not unconsciously unbeautiful as part of it.

    La espada de Gabriel no me atravesará más
    Voy a dejar que mi espíritu se eleve tan alto
    Seguro de que todo viene
    Desde el Padre a través del Hijo
    Tenemos que aprender a decir la verdad para volar
    Y es un hermoso cielo

  8. J.... L....

    (2/3)
    Muchas veces he caminado por el borde
    Anhelando cruzar a la otra parte
    Pero lo único que cambió mi mente fuiste Tú

  9. J.... L....

    Lyrics in Spanish: (1/3)
    En el centro del patio de la escuela
    Donde las bombas fueron arrojadas y ahora descansan
    Hay un niño en la oscuridad, esperando
    Pero las respuestas en los libros de historia son consumidas por el fuego, lentamente
    Y las palabras que conjuraron el perdón
    Llevan una corona de espinas

    Es mucho lo que he visto
    En este mundo que dicen que es libre
    Que casi haría que pareciese mentira

    No, I think that this is one of the very few Runrig songs actually written by Bruce Guthro

  11. A.... H....

    I'm assuming Rory McDonald wrote this one? All I know is he is such a gifted song writer.

    A.... H....

    Wrong, it was Bruce

  12. T.... ....
