Swan Upon Leda Lyrics
A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes
A child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much
As a feather behind
To enact at last the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be
Butchered by men
But the gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
The swan upon Leda
Empire upon Jerusalem
A grandmother smuggling meds
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
The gun in a trembling hand
Where nature unmakes the boundary
The pillar of myth still stands
The swan upon Leda
Occupier upon ancient land
The gateway to the world
Was still outside the reach of him
Would never belong to angels
Had never belonged to men
