[00:07.464] Her husband waits outside
[00:13.238] A cryin' child pushes a child into the night
[00:20.299] She was told he would come this time
[00:26.398] Without leavin' so much as a feather behind
[00:33.389] To enact at last the perfect plan
[00:39.499] One more sweet boy to be butchered by hand
[00:45.351]
[00:46.202] But the gateway to the world
[00:51.598] Was still outside of reach for them
[00:57.998] Would never belong to angels
[01:03.422] Had never belonged to men
[01:09.322] The swan upon Leda
[01:14.288] Empire upon Jerusalem
[01:20.047]
[01:24.593] A grandmother smugglin' eggs
[01:30.056] Past where the god child-soldier
[01:32.976] Setanta stood dead
[01:37.410] Our graceful turner of heads
[01:43.231] Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
[01:50.873] Someone's frightened boy waves her on
[01:56.223] She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone
[02:02.071]
[02:03.779] The gateway to the world
[02:09.509] Is gone in a tremblin' hand
[02:15.202] When nature unmakes the boundary
[02:20.759] The pillar of myth still stands
[02:26.274] The swan upon Leda
[02:31.751] Occupier upon ancient land
[02:36.270]
[03:12.413] But the gateway to the world
[03:17.400] Is still outside the reach of hands
[03:23.203] Would never belong to angels
[03:28.913] Had never belonged to men
