Ikaros - Immanu El

The stages are set

And the plans are drawn up

I’ve been working them for ages

Like a lion for prey

I won’t ask

Come what may

I’m ready for the conquest

Don’t want to look

Don’t want to hear

Don’t want to see

Don’t want to feel anything

I like to talk

I like to lead

I like to point

I like to go my own way

And anything that I can see

That benefits all the ways that I do

And that I try to justify

Would I need another compromise

Close to the sun

You’re taking my wings away

Down I must fall

But mountains won’t hide

And the oceans will rage

And I’m caught without escape route

'cause I’m blind

And I am deaf

And I am mute

And I can’t feel anything

I’m out of strength

And out of luck

Out of control

And out of second chances

And anything that I can do

Will reflect who I am deep within

I’m a wreck drifting away from you

I’m a wreck drifting away from you

I’m close to the sun

You’re taking my wings away

Down I must fall
