Flight Of Icarus Lyrics

Cover art for Flight Of Icarus lyrics by Iron Maiden

The song is about more than the Greek myth. It is also about a heroin overdose. Old Man was a term used for heroin when the song was written(as in GNR's mr. brownstone), in the lyrics it mentions the boys eyes as being glazed, and he flys to high is another obvious referance.
