Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel Lyrics

Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn

Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't come down no more

Higher than the birds I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I won't come down no more

Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Without my wings
You know, I'd surely die
I found my freedom flying high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

[Instrumental]

Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth so far below me, I'm here alone
And I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Without my wings
You know, I'd surely die
I found my freedom flying high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
