All hope is destroyed
Pride came before the fall, deathly silence before the bang
You always wanted to go up high
You were the last hero for a better world
Everything you dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Lift yourself one last time into a faraway land
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
Endlessly proud, sure of yourself
So you went ahead with fanfare and singing
We followed you into the bright light
Borne by the euphoria that cried out from your heart
Everything we dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Take us with you one last time into a faraway land
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
