Flight Of Icarus

Soundtrack: "Flight Of Icarus" - Iron Maiden

“Never regret thy fall, 
O Icarus of the fearless flight 
For the greatest tragedy of them all 
Is never to feel the burning light...”

(Oscar Wilde)

 

 

 

"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...

 

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, touch the Sun!"

(Iron Maiden)
