• Flight of the Ikarus

I shall tell you the tale of the good ship Ikarus
The pride of Alexander’s skies
She sailed round the world on the winds unfurled
O'er ocean and desert alike

Her captain was a lass of twenty and eight
Sun browned with star filled eyes
Stern in command, ready smile at hand
Adventure her only prize

So raise the wreck of the airship Ikarus
Her glory days long past
She flew phoenix bright toward the daystar light
And her captain would never look back (repeat)

With each tale of her strength and wits
Her fame spread like fire
Glory never feeds it creates bigger needs
Daring she rise ever higher

Alexander sent a challenge across the land
He would rule beyond Earth’s door
Whoever can bring him the Olympus gates
Shall history save in the stars

So raise the wreck of the airship Ikarus
Her glory days long past
She flew phoenix bright toward the daystar light
And her captain would never look back

She smiled, our lass, our captain so dear
“Tis us who can win this task
Raise sail to the wind, let the race begin,
Though no one will be in our class”

So strong our captain, so brave, so true
But glory had blinded us all
We raced on alone, a field of one
For the rest had wisely withdrawn

So raise the wreck of the airship Ikarus
Her glory days long past
She flew phoenix bright toward the daystar light
And her captain would never look back

No friend of the land, but a child of air
The captain she had but one goal
Meet Alexander’s quest, not one of, but the best
But pride always takes it's toll

No mortal may touch the godly realm
Lord Helios burns too bright
Our captain would not abandon her helm
Though blinded and seared by his might

Raise the wreck of the airship Ikarus
Her glory days long past
She flew phoenix bright toward the daystar light
And her captain would never look back

With wings aflame, she plummeted down
The sea quenched all her fire
Blackened in blue, she sank out of view
A watery grave for her pyre (repeat)

It’s all long ago, but the legend lives on
In the end she would not be denied
Though no long lived life, in death she'd survive
In the stars her fame would reside

So raise the wreck of the airship Ikarus
Her glory days long past
She flew phoenix bright toward the daystar light
And her captain would never looked back
And her captain would never looked back
And her captain would never looked back
