A Proper Icarus Songtext
von VOLORES

Point to the sky with pain and pride
The fear never shows behind those eyes
You started a war, but still you soar
Never to say that you fucked up before
You never fucked up before

A proper Icarus, you′re too high
To come off that horse that made you
Given the world, but you wanted to fly
So you took to the skies to see
Warned of your fate
Warned of your place
Wasted away

Makeshift dreams with wings to match
A mother's love, a father′s craft
Hated the days
That your old man would say
"Boy, this won't go your way
No, this won't go your way"

Never could burn brighter than the sun


A proper Icarus, you′re too high
To come off that horse that made you
Given the world, but you wanted to fly
So you took to the skies to see
Warned of your fate
Warned of your place
Wasted away

Melted down straight to the bone
Underneath that′s all you own
How could it be?
Out of humanity
You were wasted on me
You were wasted on me

Never could burn brighter than the sun

A proper Icarus, you're too high
To come off that horse that made you
Given the world, but you wanted to fly
So you took to the skies to see
Warned of your fate
Warned of your place
Wasted away

Never could burn brighter than the sun
How could you burn brighter than the sun?
Never could burn brighter than the sun
How could you burn brighter than the sun?
