Runrig – Siol Ghoraidh lyrics
Here hangs an open landscape
A wild and huge frontier
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
Through the grave to the promised field
You came, you trapped, you charted
You laid the railraods and the schemes
And you tamed this land by enterprise
And by the power of your dreams
From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die
Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
But you made this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you rose
With your people through the new world
Like a rocket to the moon

    These lyrics are to a completely different song! These are the lyrics to Rocket To The Moon (which is sung by Runrig in English) not Siol Ghoraidh (which is sung by Runrig in Gaelic). As other sites have made the same glaring error I wonder whether this site actually records the lyrics themselves or just lifts content from other incorrect sites!

    Whomever posted this rubbish doesn't know what they're going on about, as these lyrics are for a completely different tune, not Siol Gorriadh. Don't know which, and who ever posted this as the official google response to the lyric inquiry is equally an imbecile. As is whomever required a 50 word minimum to notify the site admin that they've buggered everything up.
