hozier - swan upon leda lyrics

[verse 1]
her husband waits outside
a cryin’ child pushes a child into the night
she was told he would come this time
without leavin’ so much as a feather behind
to enact the last perfect plan
one more sweet boy to be butchered by hand

[chorus]
but the gateway to the world
is still outside of reach for them
would never belong to angels
had belonged to men
the swan upon leda
[?]
[verse 2]
her grandmother smugglin’ eggs
past where the gun child soldiers had turned to stood there
a graceful turn of events
weave through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
someone’s frightened boy waits around
she offers a mother’s smile and so, she’s gone

[chorus]
the gateway to the world
is gone in a tremblin’ hand
when nature unmakes the boundary
[?] makes its stand
the swan upon leda
looked on by ancient land

[instrumental bridge]

[outro]
the gateway to the world
is still outside the reach of hands
would never belong to angels
had belonged to men
