Icarus

from Land of Dreams by Ben Below

/

lyrics

Trapped inside this prison
with no company except for
these impotent inventions
and my father's broken dreams

Sailors come and sailors go,
they trade in tales but never know
how eagerly I listen for the world beyond the waves

Yearning for the skies above
Invoke the gods beg for my freedom

Climbing the stairs of this godforsaken tower
Losing my sanity hour by hour

Staring down into the watery abyss
Teetering right on the edge of this precipice

3, 2, 1, let's go!

Flying high
Grasp at the sun
Wind through my wings
I'll never come back down

Teased by tastes of freedom flight
I'm doomed to dream another night restricted
I'll bide my time and set my eyes
on when to rise, and claim my prize again


3, 2, 1, let's go!

Flying high
Grasp at the sun
Wind through my wings
I'll never come back down

Flying high
Caressing the sun
Flames are my wings
I'm never ever falling back down
