Iron Maiden - Flight Of Icarus


Lyrics


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 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 as high as the sun

On your way, like an eagle

Fly, touch the sun

On your way, like an eagle

Fly


Fly as high as the sun
