to icarus
to the boy who soared too high
how long did you crave for the sun
that the sea saw your aching
and thought it a thirst for love
and its waters able to sate you?

━ to icarus, the sea loved you too ( c.m. )

i thought i'd find paradise by your side
but i guess even angels have things to hide.
maybe that's why you won't let me inside;
you don't have to let your hubris preside.

but it seems even angels need a guide.
now only if you'd let go of your pride
and see me beyond your walls outside,
reaching out to you across the divide.

━ this is why angels fall ( c.m. )

how do you turn a man into a story?
you turn him into a hero.
for what does fate do when she sees one?
she writes a tragedy.

heroes don't make the best legends.
heroes make the best tragedies.

━ the road to immortality has a high price ( c.m. )

the devil may have claimed his soul
but i have claimed his heart
and i will break down the devil's gates
and tear through the circles of hell
even if it means damning myself
but giving salvation to him

━ my love, i would go through hell just for you ( c.m. )

i was a star, not an angel with wings.
i burned too brightly only to die out too soon.
i wasn't made to fall with grace.
i was made to crash and burn.

━ i fell from the heavens aflame ( c.m. )

i made a promise not to go gentle.
i made a promise not to go quiet.
so if i have to die screaming a battle cry,
let your name be the last word on my lips.

━ let them know your name as they did mine ( c.m )
