Psalm Of Fahrenheit Lyrics

Said Daedalus, to his son so dear

'How is it that you show no fear?'

Said Icarus, though soon to blunder

'My heart is too filled up with wonder.'

While this lonely planet turns

In the darkness, fire burns

Does it guide us through the night

Or do we feel its searing bite?

Gleaming ships upon the sea

Cold robotic cavalry

Deathly blast that casts a cloud…

Politicians must be proud

So it goes, with every nation

Countless gears need calibration

Is it cause for celebration

Or a path to devastation?

Hold on to your expectation…

Here it comes, it's innovation

Once the Pillar, blessed light

Now a Tower, dreadful height

Wonder brings a joyous shout

Sombre future cast in doubt

I am wonder, I am fear

Honoured in my purpose here

Go where angels dare to tread

Though my heart is filled with dread

Icarus, he flew too high

Fell to heaven from the sky

Fortune knew he'd be undone

Now his father fears the sun
