The Death Of Neil Lyrics - Duncan Browne

The only dream that Neil had was to fly on self-made wings 

To realise the dream of man, become the king of kings 

To have a private world alone where no one else could be 

Entered through a secret door, and he would have the key 

He worked alone till night and day became just dark and light 

The outside world a distant haze with two-dimensional sight 

They thought that Neil was off his head and laughed so he could hear 

But Neil could smile at what they said, his [arrêté] was near 

He built his wings like those of old, with pedals, strings and wheels 

A universe he'd soon enfold with stardust on his heels 

He'd fly across Lorentia and touch its mountain peaks 

Atlantis he would soar above and find what memory seeks

From back to front of ages' words by candle light he read 

From dead alerts the reason why brought Icarus was dead 

With geometric line and curve his plans began to shape 

A pair of wings that soon would serve to accomplish Neil's escape 

Silent now, the people watched and no one laughed or spoke 

A memory in their souls was touched, was no longer just a joke 

And through their midst a path was cleared for Neil, a golden way 

That lift-up and his dream he neared, no longer far away

He stood alone with wings unfurled and watched the rising sun 

Apollo and another world he'd soon have lost or won 

He spread his wings, unfurled them lift among the gods he peeked 

By silent lips his soul was kissed, and Neil at last was free
