[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Dm Am
A husband waits outside
G C
A crying child pushes a child
F Am
into the night
C Dm Am
She was told he would come this time
G
Without leaving so much as a
C F Am
feather behind
G C E
To enact, at last, the perfect plan
E7 Am G F
One more sweet boy to be butchered by man
[Chorus]
Dm C G
But the gateway to the world
C F Am
Was still outside the reach of him
Dm C G
Would never belong to angels
C F Am
Had never belonged to man
Dm C G E7
The swan upon Leda
F C
Empire upon Jerusalem
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
A grandmother smuggling meds
G
Past where the god child-soldier,
C F Am
Setanta, stood dead
C Dm Am
Our graceful turner of heads
G
Weaves through the checkpoints
C F Am
like a needle and thread
G C E
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
E7 Am G F
She offers a mother's smile and soon, she's gone
[Chorus]
Dm C G
The gateway to the world
C G Am
The gun in a trembling hand
Dm C G
Where nature unmakes the boundary
C F Am
The pillar of myth still stands
Dm C G E7
The swan upon Leda
F C
Occupier upon ancient land
[Instrumental]
Dm C G C F Am
Dm C G C F Am
Dm C G E F C
[Outro]
Dm C G
The gateway to the world
C F Am
Was still outside the reach of him
Dm C G E
Would never belong to angels
F C
Had never belonged to men
