Flight of Icarus Lyrics
[Iron Maiden cover]
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.
His eyes are ablaze,
See the madman in his gaze.
Fly on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.
Now the crowd breaks and 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 fly.
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
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.
An old man stands on the hill.
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.
See the madman in his gaze.
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.
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 fly.
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
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.
