"Flight Of Icarus" lyrics

"Flight Of Icarus"
(originally by Iron Maiden)

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 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"
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 and touch the sun

Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
