An Elegy of Icaros

Icaros, I dare you

For I possess the wings of faith

Though heavy on my shoulders

No measurement can prove their weight

Still, a burden are they not to me

I am the challenger of gravity

The fear is not the fate I seek

My destiny will build upon

The mighty turbulence beyond

And if I fall, I will rise again

Some of envy, some of fear

Admonish by the graves of those who fell

Praise the fool, that pure of heart

Leaps off your finger into grace

Icaros, your voice once melted

Into the choir of the fallen ones

I have heard, I have seen

The purity of their song

Icaros, Icaros

Icaros

Icaros

Your fate, embrace

A manifold of angels

I summon thee

From shattered graves

And call upon the wind

Receive my bow of reverence

Then spread your wings

And fly into oblivion
