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
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

Runrig Gabriel's Sword Comments
This is one of my favourite songs.
I'm rather glad to see no dislikes on this video
so beautyfull, my Soul ist free sind my heart belongs to Scotland
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.
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 seek the truth to fly
And it's a beautiful sky
Thanks for the lyrics, Beth!
yes,Bruce wrote the lyrics,Malcolm did the tune.
(3/3)
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
(2/3)
Muchas veces he caminado por el borde
Anhelando cruzar a la otra parte
Pero lo único que cambió mi mente fuiste Tú
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
I'm assuming Rory McDonald wrote this one? All I know is he is such a gifted song writer.
Wrong, it was Bruce
I just heard this right after all the miles. Proterra sure had some beautiful songs.
Thank you for sharing DeadEndMary:) I love Runrig and never heard this one before truly beautiful with words and all:)..Take care and happy travels wherever they may take you...ALBA GU BRATH xxx Claire

wow - ty DeadEndMary! i love, love, LOVE this song. Bruce is amazing (I wasn't much of a Bruce fan until I heard this) and the percussions are out of this world.

Such a beautiful song sung by a great singer a fantastic band.
