Here at the edge of the world I make my final escape
There's a small chance I'll make it out alive
I've heard this tale before I know just how it ends
Fire won't bend just 'cause you believe

And the higher you go, the less you can see
They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean's his grave and the sky stands alone
Flew too close to the Sun

I don't pray for mercy now I never could kneel anyhow
If I fall, then let the silence sing
With the Sun in my eyes the fall underneath
Fire won't bend just 'cause you believe

And the higher you go, the less you can see
They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean's his grave, the sky stands alone
Flew too close to the Sun

If flying means falling then so be the cost
At least in the rise I found what I lost
Fire won't bend just 'cause you believe
And the higher you go, the less you can see

They say he rose like a bird, fell like a stone
Now the ocean's his grave, the sky stands alone
Flew too close to the Sun
