Holding forever for just tonight.

Icarus – To all of those we left behind

How could we have been so blind For the dreams we sought to find For our hopes for all mankind This is not the world we had in mind I remember that mountainside That night with a sky so bright Where we to the whole world wide Found to be not quite right So we sought to sit astride Our very lives to rid of spite This promise to the stars we cried Our hearts with hope alight Now my spirit is deadened and dull When we are nought but I Where to the past I now mull A warning to not dare too high
