Flight Of Icarus

Daedalus, a skilled craftsmen in exile in Crete, fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son, Icarus, to escape prison walls. Before they took off from the island, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, or too close to the sea. Overcome by curiosity, Icarus soared through the sky, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus soon had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. And so, Icarus fell to his death into the sea.

[Verse 1] As the sun breaks above the ground An old man stands on the hill As the ground warms to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still [Pre-Chorus] His eyes are ablaze See the madman in his gaze [Chorus] Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the sun, yeah [Verse 2] Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd "In the name of God, my father, I'll fly" [Pre-Chorus] His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave [Chorus] Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the sun [Guitar Solo] [Guitar Solo] Yeah! [Chorus] Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly... [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Fly as high as the sun
