Swan upon leda

[00:07.94] A husband waits outside

[00:13.68] A crying child pushes a child into the night

[00:20.69] She was told he would come this time

[00:27.19] Without leaving so much as a feather behind

[00:34.19] To enact at last the perfect plan

[00:39.95] One more sweet boy to be butchered by man

[00:46.69] But the gateway to the world

[00:52.20] Was still outside the reach of him

[00:58.44] What never belonged to angels

[01:03.93] Had never belonged to men

[01:09.67] The swan upon Leda

[01:15.18] Empire upon Jerusalem

[01:25.18] A grandmother smuggling meds

[01:30.44] Past where the god child-soldier Setanta stood dead

[01:38.19] Our graceful turner of heads

[01:43.68] Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread

[01:51.43] Someone's frightened boy waves her on

[01:56.95] She offers a mother's smile, and soon she's gone

[02:04.18] The gateway to the world

[02:09.69] The gun in a trembling hand

[02:15.41] Where nature unmakes the boundary

[02:21.42] The pillar of myth still stands

[02:26.91] The swan upon Leda

[02:32.43] Occupier upon ancient land

[03:12.67] The gateway to the world

[03:17.91] Was still outside the reach of him

[03:24.18] What never belonged to angels

[03:29.69] Had never belonged to men
