Flight of Icarus (Live)

As the sun breaks, above the ground
An old man stands on the hill (lay down)
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are a blaze
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, touch the sun, yeah
Oh

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

Yeah
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, oh

Fly as high as the sun now
