lyrics

The sun follows a lonely trail
It's all we can see in the sky
My father whiles his days away
Dreaming of a better goodbye

The sun rises again today
But today I see more of the sky
Like harpy with such a pretty face
I look good Helios in the eye

Icarus, Icarus, what have you done?
You know you were not her only son
Icarus, Icarus, were you so wrong?
To take your final seconds peering
At the spectrum that we all come from

I'm falling like a stone going home to earth
I'm falling like a stone from the sky
I hope they'll say my name someday
For the glory I saw with my own two eyes

Icarus, Icarus, what have you done?
You know you weren't her only son
Icarus, Icarus, were you so wrong?
To take your final seconds peering
At the spectrum that we all come from
