Icarus II

In the darkness I rise, long before
 The dawn
 I was dreaming of home and the life I
 Led
 I can hear the sound, of the engines
 Roar
 And I crave the embrace of my
 Empty bed
 Where I'm safe (there I'm safe)
 But the call is clear, and the task is
 Set
 And my enemies wait in the dark sky
 Do they fear the same fear,
 Do they dream like us
 Do they long for the day when it's
 Over
 And they're safe
 We are cruising above the horizon
 Neve knowing if we will return
 In a moment we'll loose the
 Destruction
 And we'll justify all that we burn
 Here the air is cold, but my thoughts
 Are clear
 And so I'm wondering why I must be
 Here
 For the evil that can come,
 From the heart of a man
 Must be answered in kind 'til it
 Disappears
 And we're safe
 Now we're cruising above the horizon
 Neve knowing if we will return
 In a moment we'll rain down
 Destruction
 And we'll justify all that we burn
 Here they come
 Dodging all the tracers, sky is full of
 Lead
 I can see the pilots' faces
 Safety in our numbers, eagles
 Overhead
 We are in the sight of aces
 Flak, bursting all around
 Friends, going down in flames
 Now we're hit, it's happened
 This is what I feared
 Something's telling me my time has
 Come
 Though it should be panic, I can feel
 A peace
 Strangely, now I know my purpose...
 Hey boys! Hey, get out while you
 Can
 I'll try to take us home
 I'm going home...
