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
Suprug čeka vani
Dijete koje plače gura dijete u noć
Rečeno joj je da će doći ovaj put
Bez ostavljanja toliko pera iza sebe
Napokon donijeti savršen plan
Još jedan slatki dječak kojeg je čovjek ubacio
[Zbor]
Ali ulaz u svijet
Još uvijek je bio izvan dosega njega
Nikada ne bi pripadao anđelima
Nikad nije pripadao čovjeku
Labud na Ledi
Carstvo na Jeruzalemu
[Stih 2]
Baka za krijumčarenje lijekova
Prošli tamo gdje je Bog-vojnik djece, Setanta, stajao mrtav
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
Pištolj u drhtavoj ruci
Gdje priroda uništava granicu
Stup mita i dalje stoji
Labud na Ledi
Okupator na drevnoj zemlji
[Instrumentalni most]
[Outro]
Ulaz u svijet
Još uvijek je bio izvan dosega njega
Nikada ne bi pripadao anđelima
Nikad nisu pripadali muškarcima
