Icarus (Burning Sun)

Guillotine and timer set for me

Executioner fixed a stare at me

Feathers and wax didn't help me fly

There's Opium and broken melodies

Fate burns can you heal the hole in me

The labyrinth is all in your mind

I didn't know I was gonna fly so close

To the burning sun

I'm so high I'm blinded by the overdose

See the damage done

One stage thousands facing me

I look for the perfect philosophy

To drive my plough right over your souls

Breathe deep and the nerves they go from me

I can't stop the tide that turns in me

Inspiration is ripping off of my brow

I didn't know I was gonna fly so close

To the burning sun

So high I am blinded by the overdose

See the damage done

And did you know that the dice was loaded from the start

And did you know that the nymphs would lament a broken heart

Damage done by the burning sun

The blade falls and I'm in Ecstasy

The world spins and the crowd it jeers at me

The executioner was just doing his job

The Judge said it was a serious felony

The Jury hung their heads in disbelief

The verdict was a unanimous one

I flew to close to the sun

Didn't know I was gonna fly so close

To the burning sun

I'm so high I'm blinded by the overdose

See the damage done

Just to be at one
