Icarus

He never felt the difference when his mother said goodbye
There must have been a mystery in her eyes
You grow up fast, become a man
And then you have to form a plan
But don't pretend this ever was in sight
You chose to feel responsible for something in the sky
A sense of purpose not to be denied
You used to keep the child within
But somehow it got lost again
So was it fate or was it foolish pride

Fly towards the sun, keep communications on
We're thinking of you far away
Icarus my friend, we will see you at the end
So hold the course for brighter days

He chose to give his life to us, a calling for mankind
And if you search for him then you may find
A promise now in everyone
The embers of a dying sun
The distant glow he chose to reignite

Fly towards the sun, keep communications on
We're thinking of you far away
Icarus my friend, we will see you at the end
So hold the course for brighter days

Fly towards the sun, keep communications on
We're thinking of you far away
Icarus my friend, we will see you at the end
So hold the course for brighter days
Brighter days
Brighter days
