wings of feathers and wax Lyrics

Beloved boy with melted wings

From summers long ago

With rosy cheeks the evergreens

Followed you to and fro

Apollo strike me down with him

Or take me to the Lethe

I've breathed in the Acheron

More times than I have breathed

This gift I was given

Is a curse unto me

I warned you time and time again

You still did as you pleased

Angels fall to earth in such serenity

We're all doomed to bear witness especially me

The sun will be your rival and so will the sea

If you'd have waited a little while longer

Maybe you'd be free

I will stand by all of your failures

A loyal servant

Hubristic high and lovely

With a mind so fervent

Circe why'd you save him?

Did you know what he'd become?

Did you know about my sweet boy's death

The strings the fates would strum?

The child that you saved that day

Was never one at all

He grew into a monster

But a monster we are all

Angels fall to earth in such serenity

We're all doomed to bear witness especially me

The sun will be your rival and so will the sea

If you'd have waited a little while longer

Maybe you'd be free

The sun will be your rival and so will the sea

If you'd have waited a little while longer

Maybe you'd be free
