  • Verse 1
    A husband 
    wait
    s outside 

    A crying 
    child 
    pushes 

    a child 
    into 
    the 
    night 

    She 
    was 
    told 
    he 
    would 
    come 
    this 
    time 

    Without 
    leav
    ing 
    so 
    much 
    as 

    a feather 
    behind 

    To 
    enact 
    at 
    last 
    the per
    fect 
    plan 

    One 
    more 
    sweet 
    boy 
    to 
    be 

    butchered 
    by 
    man 

    Verse 2
    But 
    the gateway 
    to 
    the 
    world 

    Was still 
    outside 
    the reach 
    of him 

    Would 
    never 
    be
    longed 
    to 
    angels 

    Had 
    never 
    be
    longed 
    to 
    men 

    The swan 
    upon 
    Leda 

    Em
    pire 
    upon 
    Jerusalem 

    Verse 3
    grandmother 
    smug
    gling 
    meds 

    Past 
    where 
    the god 
    child-soldier 

    Setanta 
    stood 
    dead 

    Our 
    graceful 
    turn
    er 
    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 

    Verse 4
    The gateway 
    to 
    the 
    world 

    The 
    gun 
    in 
    trembling 
    hand 

    Where 
    nature 
    unmakes 
    the 
    boundary 

    The 
    pillar 
    of 
    myth 
    still 
    stands 

    The swan 
    upon 
    Leda 

    Occupier 
    upon 
    ancient 
    land 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    The 
    gateway 
    to 
    the world 

    Was 
    still 
    outside 
    the 
    reach 
    of 
    him 

    Would 
    never 
    be
    longed 

    to 
    angels 

    Had 
    nev
    er 
    belonged 
    to 
    men

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
