Icarus...

Designed to fly
Strength like an eagle
Fragile as a butterfly
Fly, fly
Free-
In a sweet world
Golden honey-
Freedom's gift
Icarus...
Strong as an eagle
Fragile as a butterfly
So strong,
forgotten how fragile...
And fly
fly fly
Free


Even the eagle falls-
Strength fails
Heavy burdened with
Freedom's gift
Icarus fell...
The fragile butterfly-
Wings dripping sweet honey
Captive-bound
Struggling to fly
Restrained in
Freedom's honey
Torn and broken
Weak and tired...
Wine sweeter than honey
You have come
To heal broken wings
Bind up the torn
Free the captive
And again will rise
Fallen Icarus...
On wings like an eagle
Designed to fly
fly fly
Free
