Kansas - Icarus II Lyrics

Send "Icarus II" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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...
