Daedalus

I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me

This island our prison, our home

And everyday we look out at the sea

This place is all he's ever known

"But I've got a plan," He sung

Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird

We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song thats too perfect for words

But son, please keep a steady wing

And know your the only one that means anything to me

Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea

Now safely away, I let out a cry

"We'll make the mainland by noon"

But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky

Maybe I've spoken too soon

But son, please keep a steady wing

And know your the only one that means anything to me

Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea

Wont you look at your wings

They're coming undone

They're splitting at the seams

Steer clear of the sun, for once wont you listen to me?

Oh Gods!

Why is this happening to me?

All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free

And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me

I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings

Oh Gods!

Why is this happening to me?

All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free

And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me

I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings

Oh Gods!
