icarus, icarus
i emphasize you
soaring above the skies
too close you flew
to holy Mother star
bright and life-giving
she captivated you whole
burning and scorching
and when you fell
plummeting to the ground
both love and life lost
so sudden without a sound
icarus, icarus
our fates are alike
for i too have a sun
who gives my heart flight
and like a moth to flames
i am hopelessly drawn to him
and will eagerly throw away life
just to fulfill his whim
