[Intro]
This is, you know,
That strange song,
About Gabriel…
Oh, Gabriel…
[Verse 1]
He’s the one who, well… lost his home in a poker game,
The one who lost his wife,
The one who just… became homeless,
The one who, after all that, got drunk,
And, you know…
The ravens pecked at his eyes,
They pecked at his eyes…
Yeah…
[Break]
And when he woke up,
He, uh… saw the world,
In colors,
In words,
In… doubts.
[Chorus]
Gabriel,
Salvation,
Gabriel came to save,
Well… the world, sort of…
How will it end?
Who knows…
[Verse 2]
(Hmm hmm…)
He built a world of, I guess… walls,
And scattered breadcrumbs,
In the squares, just to, you know…
Hear the crows cawing.
[Break]
(Ooooh… Gabriel…)
He stood on what was left,
Just burnt stones,
Scattering confused words into the air,
Words only he could ever really understand…
Yeah, Gabriel…
Oh, Gabriel…
[Chorus]
Gabriel,
Salvation,
Gabriel came to save,
Well… the world, sort of…
How will it end?
Who knows…
[Instrumental Break]
(Hmm… hmm… ooooh…)
He talked about the end of the world,
And, uh… resurrection.
And he talked, and he cried, and he laughed…
Sounding kinda lost,
But, you know,
Still so sure…
Gabriel sank into
The darkened river,
With, you know,
Those charred stones tied to his body,
While a flock of ravens,
Well… they followed him
With a smile.
[Chorus]
Gabriel,
Salvation,
Gabriel…
Salvation…
Forever.
