Come down from the sky your flying to highSoaring the sky's that had always been beyond his reachHe felt like a champion his feet kicked the cloudsArms bound in the feathers of his father's labourWhich a little while later would be ashes and vapourCumbersome limbs furnished with powerful thingsHe heard the wind speak every time he heard his wings beatHis Father flew before him and so his course was setHe's like ?don't fly by the waves or your wings will get wetAnd don't fly so high that the sun melts the waxJust stay on my path son and follow my tracks?But Icarus enamoured by the feeling of flightHe just had to fly higher and get closer to that lightThe sun was hot against him as he carried on ascendingHe felt strength in him increasing like the heat that was so temptingBeneath was the world he left behind in search of better thingsTo achieve his freedom he sacrificed everythingIcarus Come down from the sky your flying to highIcarusHeed your Father's words this ain't your territoryNo one even noticed as he splashed and hit the sea bedI wonder what he saw before he fellSongtexteIf he needed some helpWould he asked for it?Probably he wouldn't noProbably he thought he was invincible He weren'tIn principle he burnt He smouldered in them mythsSo that we who never flew before could learn from what he didGiven the gift of flightIt was too easy to ignoreThe warnings of his FatherHow could he be truly responsibleWhen really all he wants to do was saw above his station and become the Sun's equalBut the Sun can have no equalFor Icarus that flicker in his eyeDistant picture in the skyAbout to catch the light that he sought Oh foolish young pride Silly man How can you learn to fly if you ain't even learnt to stand upIf he had listened to his fatherHe would never would've drownedBut the happiness he felt is one he never would have foundGifts are dangerous when they are given and not earnedA lesson merely heard is never a lesson learnedBy the time his father turned the wax had completely burnedFeathers scattered on the wavesThey rolled on unconcerned But in the small moment before he fell in to the seaIcarus the head strong had been completely freeIcarus Come down from the sky your flying to highIcarusHeed your Father's words this ain't your territoryNo one even noticed as he splashed and hit the sea bedI wonder what he saw before he fellIf he needed some helpWould he asked for it?Probably he wouldn't noProbably he thought he was invincible He weren'tIn principle he burnt He smouldered in them mythsSo that we who never flew before could learn from what he didSo that we who never flew before could learn from what he didIcarus Come down from the sky your flying to highIcarusHeed your Father's words this ain't your territoryNo one even noticed as he splashed and hit the sea bedI wonder what he saw before he fellIf he needed some helpWould he asked for it?Probably he wouldn't noProbably he thought he was invincible He weren'tIn principle he burnt He smouldered in them mythsSo that we who never flew before could learn from what he did Aus Songtexte Mania
