Flight Of Icarus Lyrics - Iron Maiden
Review The Song (1)
As the Sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly
Fly as high as the Sun
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly
Fly as high as the Sun

Sooo good! | Reviewer: Shahir | 6/2/12
This song is so freaking brilliant! I remember hearing the story of Icarus a while ago and then I heard this song - Steve is one brilliant songwriter. But Bruce's singing in this song is bloody amazing! It soars like an eagle (I especially love the part where he says 'His eyes seem so glazed'). The riffs are great and the solos are mind-blowing. Freaking great job, guys :)
