Icarus Part I (Ascent) 05:30
lyrics
buy track
I wish I could fly The odds are stacked against me I'm stuck to this mortal plain To defy the laws of gravity Would sand against the grain The odds are stacked against me But cannot be correct I crawled upon my belly Then dragged myself erect I wish I could fly I built my wings of phoenix feathers My harness harpy leather My tail is a bail of quills from porcupines My straps are strung with the guts of cubs of tigers I glued my flight machine with wax from bees Now I prepare to fly I climbed to the highest peak of the tallest mountain I sacrificed one feather to test the wind I welded shut my suit with precious metals I launched from the trebuchet of some barbarian overlord I turned my face to the heavens trying to get a better sense of perspective I lent my voice to the howling gale we wailed invective It's just not fair to declare my flying machine defective Just stare as I take to the air you doubting fool With my wings of phoenix feathers My harness harpy leather My tail the quills from porcupines All glued together with wax from bees Climbed to the tallest mountain One feather to test the wind Welded shut my suit and launched myself From a trebuchet I touched the sky I touched the sky I touched the sky I touched the sky

Sun and Moon 04:57

The set and the sun There's eyes upon you, be ready to run The sun and the moon There's something between us, better make room I am a creature of darkness, you are bathed in rays When the sun goes down in the upside down, the cycle spins again I'm a disciple of moonshine, you are a flagon of light As the blackbird sings I simply wish that I could sleep with you tonight When the sun fell in love with the moon And the blackbird sang out of tune We could synchronise our pulses, we could rhythmatise our hearts But the tangled roots that bind us have driven our bodies apart When the sun fell in love with the moon And the blackbird sang out of tune And the spread of the cracks in the sky Like the blood vessels burst in my eye The set and the sun There's eyes upon you, be ready to run The sun and the moon There's something between us, better make room The set and the sun There's eyes upon you, be ready to run The sun and the moon There's something between us, better make room The moon and the stars I'm coming to find you wherever you are The stars in the sky Dancing like Venus, burning my eyes

Pride Hubris Vanity Pretension Arrogance Ego I've shared quarters with mothers and daughters The best of them stayed for a while The greatest of rivers are filled with my waters The Thames and the Rhine and the Nile Pride comes before destruction High thoughts before a fall Pride Hubris Vanity Pretension Arrogance Ego
