A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
To enact, at last, the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be butchered by man
[Chorus]
But the gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to man
The swan upon Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
[Verse 2]
A grandmother smuggling meds
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
The gun in a trembling hand
Where nature unmakes the boundary
The pillar of myth still stands
The swan upon Leda
Occupier upon ancient land
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
The gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
Seorang suami menunggu di luar
Seorang anak yang menangis mendorong seorang anak ke malam hari
Dia diberitahu bahwa dia akan datang kali ini
Tanpa meninggalkan sebanyak bulu di belakang
Untuk memberlakukan, akhirnya, rencana yang sempurna
Satu lagi anak manis untuk disembelih oleh manusia
[Paduan suara]
Tapi pintu gerbang ke dunia
Masih di luar jangkauannya
Tidak akan pernah menjadi milik malaikat
Tidak pernah menjadi milik manusia
Swan di Leda
Kekaisaran Upon Yerusalem
[Ayat 2]
Seorang nenek penyelundupan obat
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
Pistol di tangan gemetar
Dimana alam membuka batas batas
Pilar mitos masih berdiri
Swan di Leda
Penjajah di tanah kuno
[Jembatan Instrumental]
[Outro]
Gerbang ke dunia
Masih di luar jangkauannya
Tidak akan pernah menjadi milik malaikat
Tidak pernah menjadi milik pria
