[00:00.52]Swan Upon Leda - Hozier
[00:01.54]Lyrics by：A. Hozier-Byrne
[00:02.71]Composed by：A. Hozier-Byrne
[00:07.67]A husband waits outside
[00:13.50]A crying child pushes a child into the night
[00:20.48]She was told he would come this time
[00:26.83]Without leaving so much as a feather behind
[00:33.73]To enact at last the perfect plan
[00:39.68]One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
[00:46.63]But gateway to the world
[00:51.97]Was still outside the reach of him
[00:58.14]Would never belong to angels
[01:03.56]Had never belonged to men
[01:09.40]The swan upon Leda
[01:14.85]Empire upon Jerusalem
[01:24.85]A grandmother smuggling meds
[01:30.34]Past where the god child-soldier
[01:33.27]Setanta stood dead
[01:37.90]Our graceful turner of heads
[01:43.52]Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
[01:50.93]Someone's frightened boy waves her on
[01:56.68]She offers a mother's smile and soon she's gone
[02:03.98]The gateway to the world
[02:09.67]The gun in a trembling hand
[02:15.29]Where nature unmakes the boundary
[02:21.00]The pillar of myth still stands
[02:26.67]The swan upon Leda
[02:31.90]Occupier upon ancient land
[03:12.45]But gateway to the world
[03:17.73]Was still outside the reach of him
[03:23.75]Would never belong to angels
[03:29.38]Had never belonged to men
