Oh, Icarus Lyrics

Growing up the world was small

I know so little if at all

Of worlds outside these awful walls

Oh I can only dream

Sure there were plenty books to read

And Bold inventions, wild machines

My fathers gifts from great Athene

Will save me now and set me free

No longer caged, I'm flying

Oer oceans vast, I'm shining

The sun she seems to cry

Oh, Icarus, come home to me

The wind blows through my hair

And ruffles up my wings

The sunshine gives me kisses

And the salt mist sweetly stings

Alive at last, I'll thrive at last

I soar towards the sun

The wax is slowly dripping

The ticking clock has just begun

No longer caged, I'm flying

Oer oceans vast, I'm shining

The sun she seems to cry

Oh, Icarus, come home to me

Climbing higher, further from my past

Above the birds, I start free falling fast

The winds knocked from my lungs

The scorching of the sun

Once tempting, tantalizing

Is a golden fist that hurls me towards the sea

And it's so bright it's blinding

The wind is howling, biting

The waves all seem to cry

Oh Icarus, come home to me

As I plummet to the unforgiving

Glistening turquoise sea
