Verse 1:
   D        Em     Bm
a husband waits outside
           A               D             G
a crying child pushes a child into the night
Bm        D             Em        Bm
 She was told he would come this time
          A                     D       G
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
Bm           A         D      Gb7
 To enact at last the perfect plan
               Bm     A       G
One more sweet boy to be butchered by man

Chorus:
          Em    D       A  
But the gateway to the world
                        D       G
Was still outside the reach of him
Bm     Em      D          A  
 Would never belong to angels
              D        G
Had never belonged to man

a grandmother smuggling meds

Past where the god child-soldier Setanta stood dead
Bm      D       Em        Bm
 Our graceful turner of heads
                      A                 D           G
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Bm                   A      D       Gb7
 Someone's frightened boy waves her on
               Bm       A          G
She offers a mother's smile, and soon she's gone

Chorus:
     Em      D     A  
The gateway to the world
               D        G
The gun in a trembling hand
Bm       Em     D          A  
 Where nature unmakes the boundary
               D           G
The pillar of myth still stands

Occupier upon ancient land
