Ikaros 94

from White Zombie by Dawn of Oblivion

/

about

An early live favorite and absolutely destined to take part on the first album. When we went into the studio to record 'A Fervent Prayer' we had just finished Faith and Nazgûl and thought those songs were strong enough to make it to the album, so we had to take 1 or 2 songs out. Ikaros was one of them. Vic always felt the lyrics were too strong to be forgotten, so he decided to refurbish the song for 'The Final Chapter' album.
This one is the original and a beautiful example on how the band sounded before 'A Fervent Prayer'.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Search for a better day
Search for some action
I know the joy, the satisfaction
Yes I know it’s too, it’s too damn cold
And everybody wants to see how it looks up above
Don’t get too close to me
Too close to me

CHORUS
It was fun to be so high
Just like you I tried to fly

You see, I am no hunter
I am just patient
I know to feel the excitement
Escaping from, from the prison earth
Escaping from your anger
They helped to give you wings
But not to be a survivor
To be a survivor

CHORUS*2

But I’m far too close to the sun

I know I’m flying far too high
Know my golden wings will melt

CHORUS*2

Ikaros, look I’ll come to you
Ikaros, look what they brought me to
