Her husband waits outside
A cryin' child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leavin' so much as a feather behind
Her husband waits outside
A cryin' child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leavin' so much as a feather behind
To enact at last the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be butchered by hand
[Chorus]
But the gateway to the world
Was still outside of reach for them
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
The swan upon Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
[Verse 2]
A grandmother smugglin' eggs
Past where the god child-soldier
Setanta stood dead
Our graceful turner of heads
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone
[Chorus]
The gateway to the world
Is gone in a tremblin' hand
When nature unmakes the boundary
The pillar of myth still stands
The swan upon Leda
Occupier upon ancient land
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
But the gateway to the world
Is still outside the reach of hands
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
Suaminya menunggu di luar
Seorang anak yang menangis mendorong seorang anak ke malam hari
Dia diberitahu bahwa dia akan datang kali ini
Tanpa leavin 'seperti bulu di belakang
Untuk akhirnya memberlakukan rencana yang sempurna
Satu lagi anak manis untuk disembelih dengan tangan
[Paduan suara]
Tapi pintu gerbang ke dunia
Masih di luar jangkauan mereka
Tidak akan pernah menjadi milik malaikat
Tidak pernah menjadi milik pria
Swan di Leda
Kekaisaran Upon Yerusalem
[Ayat 2]
Seorang nenek penyelundup telur
Masa lalu di mana tuhan anak-anak
Setanta berdiri mati
Turner kepala kami yang anggun
Menjalin melalui pos pemeriksaan seperti jarum dan benang
Anak laki -laki yang ketakutan seseorang melambaikan tangan
Dia menawarkan senyum ibu dan segera dia pergi
[Paduan suara]
Gerbang ke dunia
Hilang di tangan tremblin
Saat alam membuka batas batas
Pilar mitos masih berdiri
Swan di Leda
Penjajah di tanah kuno
[Jembatan Instrumental]
[Outro]
Tapi pintu gerbang ke dunia
Masih di luar jangkauan tangan
Tidak akan pernah menjadi milik malaikat
Tidak pernah menjadi milik pria
