about

"Icarus" with its Celtic feel and rolling-wave movement, is a driving yet gentle ballad about riding the currents of time to arrive where you are. The full version of "Icarus" can be heard on the EP FIRE.

lyrics

ICARUS - LYRICS

You’d better stop right here as you ride on by
Wave your flag in sweet surrender to a grey sky
You’d fly like an eagle if you could fly

No one laid a map before you, you wander far away
Searching for that treasure rainbow before the death of day
You pray to the angels

Learn from the fate of Icarus, heed the call of your father
The air conceals a labyrinth between fire and water
Don’t let feather be your folly as you seek the shore afar
Touch down where you are, be it near or far

All the ones who came before you worked to clear the way
Blazing trails with ardent fire for those alive today
They blessed us with their burdens and sanctified our stay

Bless the dirt made from their ashes, the earth on which they stood
Clear your soul with signaled purpose for the common good
And learn from their lessons

Learn from the fate of Icarus, heed the call of your father
The air conceals a labyrinth between fire and water
Don’t let feather be your folly as you seek the shore afar
Touch down where you are, be it near or far
