Iron Maiden - Flight Of Icarus Lyrics






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, touch the sun

Yeah
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

    Maiden were simply a juggernaut of a band once Bruce joined. They just smashed their way through the 1980s putting fear into other bands trying to compete. I think it's amazing & so impressive that they're still going but I'm unmovable in the fact that they haven't come close to the level of excellence they achieved here & up to (but not including) Fear of the Dark

  5. R.... C....

    0:54 "EDDIE" cranked to 11 on the desk

  6. M.... S....

    Maiden like others benefited from great cover art! Long live Eddie! Lots of posters! Aces High my fav.

    I tried hating Iron Maiden, so many times. I tried to pick apart everyth... okay that's a lie. I have never questioned them. Found them when I was 13 years old.... Still love them at 50.

    O dia em que Bruce Dickinson foi Ronnie James Dio. Coisas espetaculares e assombrosas do rock.

    I remember when MTV actually existed, and IRON MAIDEN'S-Flight of Icarus was one of the most heavily played video's. If you ask me the now OWNER of MTV should be put under ARREST and sent to the MOON to be RAPED by a Giraffe and one HUMANOID named Al Gore for ALL-ETERNITY?

    My mom wouldn’t let but this record because she thought it was the work of the devil so I kept the album at my friends house. I told her about a few years ago. She still got pissed. Then I told her my granddaughter likes it to. Ha

  71. i.... ....

    IMHO, Dickinson one of top 3 rock/metal vocalists of all time and I'be hard pressed to think of the other two. Dio and Paul Rodgers, maybe? Remember, opinions are like an anus...everyone has one.

    i.... ....

    Geoff Tate up there .

  72. J.... ....

    My favourite tune by them, and they have so many good ones.

  78. T.... ....

    Rumor has it Steve Harris hated this song (is a Smith/Dickenson song) and they didn’t play it live for about 25 years until the last tour.

  79. T.... V....
