Vanden Plas - 'My Icarian Flight' (official music video)

I stare as the cyan midnightsun
Flows in the embers of darkness
Her flames burning out
The light of forever is gone
And now she is dying alone

On my Icarian flight
You see me flying away
I came too close to the sun and fall
In flames into the day
On my Icarian flight

And elsewhere she dreams an endless dream
Tries to escape from the darkness
The look in her eyes
Reflecting a hereafter life
They said already goodbye

On my Icarian flight
You see me flying away
I came too close to the sun and fall
In flames into the day
On my Icarian flight
I´ve seen your last shining ray
I came too close to the sun and fall
In flames into the day
On my Icarian flight

I´m your burning savior
Starting my Icarian flight to you
Like an aviator to the sun
To burn
To my mother
I´m feeling your silent fear v
Sometimes it´s better to burn than
See your loved ones disappear
On my Icarian flight
You see me flying away
I came too close to the sun and fall
In flames into the day
My wings are fire tonight
My wings are fire tonight
Search your Eternity light
