Flight Of Icarus

Iron Maiden

  
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.

See the madman in his gaze.

R: 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
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.

R: Fly, on your way, like an eagle...
