Icarus

作词 : William Patrick Van Alstine/Timothy William Halperin

作曲 : William Patrick Van Alstine/Timothy William Halperin

Help me remember the look of the sun in your eyes

Stare down the relics if only the four winds would rise

I gave you oceans, I gave you oceans in my mind

But I drank them down when the light traded places with fire

Show me the places they warned us about

Couldn’t blame them the day I found out

Where the promise would lead me

Will it deceive me?

Hope I don’t find out

Are we only sentinels?

Are we ever coming home?

At times I wonder

Help me understand

Is that all we get?

Nowhere to land

Just flying too close to the sun

Followed a notion that lifted us up from the ground

New revelation, a sign we could make it somehow

No way to reason, only the beacons flashing red

Swallow your instinct, dismiss all the tales in your head

Show me the places they warned us about

Couldn’t blame them the day I found out

Where the promise would lead me

Will it deceive me?

Hope I don’t find out

Are we only sentinels?

Are we ever coming home?

At times I wonder

Help me understand

Is that all we get?

Nowhere to land

Just flying too close to the sun
