Hubris Lyrics


"father, oh father

let us flee

back to the mainland

far away from Crete

we will not stay here

in this prison

we will go home

to be free"

"my son

I will

build wings

to escape

from here

we will go

through the air

over waves"

Daedalos built wings to flee

out of wax and feathers they shall be

"father, I know

not too high or too low

I'll do what you said

to learn to fly

we have to go now

I am behind you

do not worry

I will be fine

beautiful sun

let me touch thee

I mastered the air

now I will master you

look I'm coming close

I am stronger than you

i will claim you all

for myself"

"Ikarus,

not so high

you will fall

look your wings

start to melt

to fall apart

you will die

and let me alone"

the surveyed tried to be

like a god and so he died

"sun you traitor

you lured me

to come to you

to give in

I am just a man

not a god or a king

just Ikarus the fool

who died of hubris"
