Myths and Hymns
Icarus
Icarus was not an achiever
Always resented what his father could do
Was sick and tired of the hullabaloo
When would he ever make his mark?
Icarus was not a believer
His father trusted him and took him for granted
That he would turn out to be just as enchanted
That all he needed was some help getting off the ground
Put these on and learn to fly
A course above the ocean
Test your strength
Learn to change the angle of your wing
But, Icarus, fly beneath me, shaded from the sun
Unlimited altitude will heat up your wings and they'll come unglued
Of the sun, you must beware
When you're gliding through the air
You have to try to stay in my shadow
Icarus could see the potential
Aerodynamic mythological coup
Of being the only flying demi-god who
Dared to land on the sun
Icarus could see the credential
And taste the glory of the journey at hand
The light reflected off his wings when they spread
He started singing when his feet only found air
Look at me
I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of
Divine event
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father
Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun
Unlimited altitude
I like to navigate in the nude
Breezes blowing through my hair
While I ride the dunes of air
I think I'll let him fly in my shadow
He didn't try to get his ears to pop
He liked the atmospheric pressure drop
The sky around him and the earth below
Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below
Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below
Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below
Look at me
I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of
Divine event
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father
Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun
Unlimited altitude
The ozone layer is rainbow-hued
Nimbus cloud about my head
I think I'll wear it in my father's stead
I think the air is getting thin
Look at me
I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of
Divine event
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father (doo doo doo doo)
Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun
Ah!
