Flight Of Icarus Lyrics - Piece Of Mind - Iron Maiden

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 and touch the sun, yeah, mmm

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 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

Yeah, 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 

(Solo) 

Fly as high as the sun
