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
Njen muž čeka napolju
Krićeno dijete gura dijete u noć
Rečeno joj je da će doći ovaj put
Bez napuštanja toliko kao pero iza
Da biste konačno donijeli savršen plan
Jedan slatkiji dječak koji bi trebao biti metra ručno
[Chorus]
Ali gateway u svijet
Bio je još uvijek izvan dosega za njima
Nikad ne bi pripadali anđelima
Nikad nije pripadao muškarcima
Labud na LEDA
Carstvo na Jerusalimu
[VERSE 2]
Baka šmirgl 'jaja
Prošlost gdje je Bog dječji vojnik
Setanta je stajala mrtva
Naš graciozni turpor glave
Tkajući kroz kontrolne točke poput igle i navoja
Neko je uplašen dečko maše
Nudi majčini osmijeh i uskoro je otišla
[Chorus]
Gateway u svijet
Je nestao u tremljenoj ruci
Kad priroda uništi granicu
Stub mita još uvijek stoji
Labud na LEDA
Okupator na drevnom zemljištu
[Instrumentalni most]
[Outro]
Ali gateway u svijet
Je još uvijek izvan dosega ruku
Nikad ne bi pripadali anđelima
Nikad nije pripadao muškarcima
