Flight of Icarus [Live After Death]

[Verse 1] 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 birdsong shatters the still [Pre-Chorus] His eyes are ablaze See the madman in his gaze [Chorus] Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun [Verse 2] 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 fly" [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun [Chorus] 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, touch the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly [Outro] Fly as high as the sun [Talking To Crowd] "Moral of this story is not what to do if a bird shits on you"
