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 bird song 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'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 as high as the sun

(Solo: Dave Murray)

(Solo: Adrian Smith)

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 toward the sun

On your way, like an eagle, fly.....

(Solo: Dave Murray)

Fly as high as the sun
