Flight of Icarus

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 bird song shatters the still His eyes are ablaze, see the madman in his gaze Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly and touch the sun 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'll fly 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 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 (Solo: Dave Murray) (Solo: Adrian Smith) 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 toward the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly..... (Solo: Dave Murray) Fly as high as the sun
