lirik lagu the loom of time - the wings of ingenuity
father, for all of your invention
what have you to show?
the seas you see around you
are controlled by those below
you have been merely an instrument
strings plucked by lesser hands
it’s time to ply your trade, father
and execute your plan
we should not decay in a prison of your design
i will rise and take the life that’s mine!
our bodies grow weak
our kingdoms fall
but the deeds of our heroes
live on in mankind’s thoughts
let us be that great!
let us not succumb!
to the sin of mediocrity
and thе regret of deeds undone
strap thе wings of ingenuity
to the arms of unfettered will
and crete can have her foolish king
and we can have the world
“too close to the waves
and the feathers will dampen
too close to the sun
and the wax will melt.”
father was there ever any danger
that your son would ever dare to fly too low
that the man i am would ever be a stranger
and the name of icarus would not be known?
i will be the first man
to fly so high
that the people of earth
will call me divine
the heavens will no longer be the gods’ own land
or is this what it takes to be more than a man?
i cannot help but be greater than all!
i was fated to have a soul that soars!
higher! higher!
silence my father!
only now, high above the sea
have i become the man i was to be
higher! higher!
’til i can feel that fire
look on me, o men of earth, in awe
pursuit of divinity is what this life is for!
in that fleeting moment
when i realise what i’ve done
there’s no terror in my eyes
though i’m blinded by the sun
my muscles relax
as my feathers flee
my eyelids close
as i tip towards the sea
note my smile, o father
though i know to where i go
a greater deed of men is mine
i know what none have known
no regrets!
greatness is my legacy!
daedalus my father, name these waters for me!
my eyes are open as i go into the sea!
