Swan Upon Leda - 歌词大全

作词 : A. Hozier-Byrne 作曲 : A. Hozier-Byrne 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 at last the perfect plan One more sweet boy to be butchered by hand But the gateway to the world Was still outside of reach for them Would never belong to angels Had never belonged to men The swan upon Leda Empire upon Jerusalem A grandmother smugglin' eggs 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 The gateway to the world Is gone in a tremblin' hand When nature unmakes the boundary The pillar of myth still stands The swan upon Leda Occupier upon ancient land But the gateway to the world Is still outside the reach of hands Would never belong to angels Had never belonged to men
