[Lyrics: Ihsahn] 


Icaros, I dare you 
For I possess the wings of faith 
Though, heavy on my shoulders 
(No measurement can prove their weight) 
Still, a burden are they not to me 
I am the challenger of gravity 


The fear is not the fate I seek 
My destiny will build upon 
The mighty turbulence beyond 
If I fall I will rise again 


Some of envy 
Some of fear 
Asmonish by the graves of those who fell 
Praise the fool that pure of heart 
Leaps off your finger 
Into grace 


Icaros, your voice once melted 
Into the choir of the fallen ones 
I have heard, I have seen 
The purity of their song 


Icaros 
Your fate embrace 
A manifold of angels 
I summon thee 
From shattered graves 
And call upon the wind 
Recieve my bow of reverence 
Then spread your wings 
And fly into oblivion
