Homo Icarus
Douglas Allchin, 1991
Flight of Icarus , Iron Maiden
• As the sun breaks above the groundAn old man stands on the hillAs the ground warms to the first rays of lightA birdsong shatters the still
• His eyes are ablazeSee the madman in his gaze
• Fly on your way like an eagleFly as high as the sunOn your wings like an eagleFly and touch the sun
• Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appearsLook the old man in his eyesAs he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowdIn the name of God my father I fly
His eyes seem so glazedAs he flies on the wings of a dreamNow he knows his father betrayedNow his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave
• Fly on your way like an eagleFly as high as the sun
• On your wings like an eagleFly and touch the sun
