Daedalus, a brilliant craftsman, built wings from feathers and wax to escape Crete with his son Icarus. Despite his father's warning, Icarus flew too close to the sun; the wax melted, his wings fell apart, and he plunged into the sea and drowned. [Verse 1] In the heart of the labyrinth, shadows breathe, A mind of steel, a soul deceived. Daedalus, the maker, bound by chains, His genius trapped where silence reigns. Blueprints forged in firelight, Feathers torn from fate’s own flight. He whispered, “Son, beware the sun…” But Icarus had just begun. [Chorus] Fly—on wings of wax and flame! Defy—the gods, defy the grave! Skybound dreamer, cursed to fall, The higher you rise, the louder the call. [Verse 2] Over oceans, wind and pride, They danced on air, they kissed the sky. But freedom’s voice was loud and wild, Too fierce for a reckless child. Golden blaze, temptation's glare, Burning truth in open air. A father’s scream lost in the blue, As heaven cracked, and terror flew. [Chorus] Fly—on wings of wax and flame! Defy—the gods, defy the grave! Skybound dreamer, cursed to fall, The higher you rise, the louder the call. [Bridge] “I gave you flight, not immortality!” "The sky is not your throne!" [Breakdown] Ashes spiral in the wind— No glory lies where pride has sinned. The sea now guards his shattered crown, The sun looks on, never looking down. [Final Chorus] Fly—on wings of wax and flame! Cry—your name into the rain! Fall—like thunder from the skies, The legend lives, though the dreamer dies… [Outro] Father weeps beneath the waves, Son now sleeps in wind-blown graves...
