Flight Of Icarus lyrics
by Iron Maiden
As the dawn 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
Touch the sun
Mmm mmm...
Now the crowd breaks
And a young boy appears
Looks the old man
In the eye (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.
