Icarus Lyrics by Tom West

Oncoming Clouds

2015

I see a light up ahead
I see the tunnel’s end
I see the end of night
I see the start of the light
Is it raining outside
Or is it sunny and bright
Is it grey or white
From the flame to the fire
There’s only air around us
Don’t look down
There’s only air around us
Don’t look down
See those wings give lift
For when you jump off the cliff
You go up with the wind
You’re just like icarus
It takes you over the mount
Over the river the town
Don’t get too close to the sun
Or your wings they will burn
There’s only air around us
Don’t look down
There’s only air around us
Don’t look down
From the flame to the fire
And it burns you out
From the flame to the fire
And it burns you out
From the ashes grow
Something beautiful and new
Something you never know
