Flight of Icarus / The Trooper

As the sun breaks, above the ground An old man stands on the hill As the ground warms, to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still His eyes are ablaze See the madman in his gaze Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd: "In the name of god, my father, I fly" His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly Fly as high as the sun

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back The bugle sounds, the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath As I plunge on into certain death Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We get so close, near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds takes my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
