Kansas Icarus Ii Lyrics

Icarus Ii Lyrics

In the darkness I rise, long before 

The dawn 

I was dreaming of home and the life I 

Led 

I can hear the sound, of the engines 

Roar 

And I crave the embrace of my 

Empty bed 

Where I'm safe (there I'm safe) 



But the call is clear, and the task is 

Set 

And my enemies wait in the dark sky 

Do they fear the same fear, 

Do they dream like us 

Do they long for the day when it's 

Over 

And they're safe 



We are cruising above the horizon 

Neve knowing if we will return 

In a moment we'll loose the 

Destruction 

And we'll justify all that we burn 



Here the air is cold, but my thoughts 

Are clear 

And so I'm wondering why I must be 

Here 

For the evil that can come, 

From the heart of a man 

Must be answered in kind 'til it 

Disappears 

And we're safe 



Now we're cruising above the horizon 

Neve knowing if we will return 

In a moment we'll rain down 

Destruction 

And we'll justify all that we burn 



Here they come 



Dodging all the tracers, sky is full of 

Lead 

I can see the pilots' faces 

Safety in our numbers, eagles 

Overhead 

We are in the sight of aces 



Flak, bursting all around 

Friends, going down in flames 



Now we're hit, it's happened 

This is what I feared 

Something's telling me my time has 

Come 

Though it should be panic, I can feel 

A peace 

Strangely, now I know my purpose... 



Hey boys! Hey, get out while you 

Can 

I'll try to take us home 



I'm going home...
