[Intro]
Uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh
[Verse 1]
Hi, I'm Icarus, I think, I don't remember
I run in my labyrinth, one hour of outside time per day
I've been here on earth for a century like a petal
I'll die with two thousand thorns around my neck
Rightly charged with free will
A crime that always annoys those in power
Because I dreamed of flying too high
Because I thought that every man on earth is a saint
If now everything is forbidden, I don't care and I sing
I don't care and I sing
[Chorus 1]
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free, yeah
Even if later they deny it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Icarus is free, yeah
But people talk, you know
[Verse 2]
It's not like they say, the worst might be something else
While you swim to Mykonos, I hold back my tears
Behind these walls a cobalt blue sky falls
I'm feeling confident because I only look up
They brutally cut my wings with shears
To keep my will from flying again
But even if I stand still, wind will come to me, you know
Even if I stand still, I'm not inside here anymore
Because I chose to fly too high again
Certain that every man on earth is a saint
[Chorus 2]
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free, yeah
Even if later they deny it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Icarus is free, yeah
And he won't step back an inch
[Verse 3]
Because flying is a thought that cannot be stopped
Sculpted into a statue, written on walls
And freer than air, it can do harm
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's the only thing that, thing that, thing
But it's the only thing that, thing that, thing
But it's the only thing that can save you
[Chorus 1]
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free, yeah
Even if later they deny it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Icarus is free, yeah
People still talk, you know
