Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel - live

Icarus you must have watched the skies
 Over a thousand times
 Icarus why still expose your eyes
 To what they'll never see
 Can never be
 You won't get a better deal
 Icarus these wings are not for real
 Was it me who said you'd never fall
 If you could read the signs
 Icarus, I don't remember all
 These words- now meant to be
 Disarming me
 So there's only one way out
 Even though you'll never learn to live without
 We've got no control, we're part of the
 Lost in a maze and looking for answers
 The gods play their game, concealing their hand
 Building a strategy, taking their chances
 They show you their schemes of promise and hope
 Then they break down your dreams and hand you the rope
 These are the lines, such are the rules
 Stick to the road that you've gotta follow
 Don't me misled by jokers and fools
 Their image is false and their prophesy's hollow
 They poisoned the rains
 Polluted the sky
 Now they lock you in chains
 And tell you to fly
 Icarus you have observed the stars
 Untill daylight dawned
 Oh Icarus if we could reach as far
 As half the universe
 Free as birds
 But you won't make it on your own
 No one safely makes that journey all alone
 It's a perfect world - but confusing my soul
 There's no escape and no prospect of winning
 Surrounded by walls - entrapped in a
 Where head is tail and the end's the beginning
 They lie and they cheat
 Deny what you know
 Only driven by greed
 When you least expect it they deal you the final blow
 Things can not be changed
 Life can't be undone
 You will fly too close to the sun
 And you lose it all
 You're bound to fall again
 Icarus - you must have watched the skies
 Over a thousand times
 Icarus why still expose your eyes
 To what they'll never see
 Can never be
 Now you found the one way out
 Can you tell me what it's really all about
 Things can not be changed
 Life can't be undone
 You will fly too close to the sun
 Like you did before
 So will many more
 Do in times to come
 Icarus this game simply can't be won...
