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
Njezin suprug čeka vani
Cryin 'dijete gura dijete u noć
Rečeno joj je da će doći ovaj put
Bez da se toliko baca kao pero iza
Napokon donijeti savršen plan
Još jedan slatki dječak koji je ručno bio izrezan
[Zbor]
Ali ulaz u svijet
Još uvijek je bio izvan dosega za njima
Nikada ne bi pripadao anđelima
Nikad nisu pripadali muškarcima
Labud na Ledi
Carstvo na Jeruzalemu
[Stih 2]
Baka krijumčare jaja
Prošli tamo gdje je Bog vojnik djece
Setanta je stajala mrtva
Naš graciozni turner glava
Prolazi kroz kontrolne točke poput igle i niti
Netko je uplašen dječak maše
Nudi majčin osmijeh i uskoro je otišla
[Zbor]
Ulaz u svijet
Je nestao u trenginskoj ruci
Kad priroda uništi granicu
Stup mita i dalje stoji
Labud na Ledi
Okupator na drevnoj zemlji
[Instrumentalni most]
[Outro]
Ali ulaz u svijet
Je još uvijek izvan dosega ruku
Nikada ne bi pripadao anđelima
Nikad nisu pripadali muškarcima
