Lyrics
It's to late, feel the burning sun upon your face
Feeling the consequences too late, experiencing the intense heat of the sun.
Sealed your fate, closing in upon the Burning rays
Fate sealed as the burning rays of the sun close in.
Long has man dreamt to take to the skies
Throughout history, humans have aspired to fly.
We have kept on looking upwards as the planet dies
Humanity has persistently gazed upward, ignoring the planet's decline.
Leave the world behind as your arrogance takes flight
Leaving behind the world due to arrogance, facing consequences.
The consequence of hubris as you burn out your eyes
Hubris leads to consequences, symbolized by burning out one's eyes.
Dreams of flight, on feathered wings
Dreams of flight depicted with feathered wings.
Is where the end of mankind begins
The end of humanity starts with the pursuit of flight.
To close to the sun, now the damage is done
Too close to the sun, irreversible damage is done.
To close to the sun, watch the world come undone
Proximity to the sun leads to witnessing the world's unraveling.
Consume, abuse, as we take to the skies
Engaging in consumption and abuse during the pursuit of flight.
Enslave, misuse, as the temperatures rise
Enslavement and misuse accompany the rise in temperatures.
Now we ascend towards our own demise
Ascending towards self-destruction.
A world engulfed in the fires of pride
A world consumed by the fires of pride.
And now the sun the melting wax Consumes,
The sun metaphorically consumes the melting wax, signifying a fatal flaw in the flight's engine.
The engine of our flight is now a tomb
The once hopeful engine of flight becomes a tomb.
Certain doom, as the sky evaporates your plumes
Facing certain doom as the sky disintegrates the plumes.
Disintegrated by the heat we plummet down
Heat causes disintegration, leading to a plummeting downfall.
The consequence of arrogance so obvious now
The obvious consequence of arrogance becomes apparent.
To the power of the sun humanity most bow
Humanity must acknowledge the power of the sun.
With wings of Icarus beneath the sea we drown
With wings of Icarus, humanity drowns beneath the sea.
Dreams of flight, on feathered wings
Reiteration of dreams of flight with feathered wings.
Is where the end of mankind begin
The end of mankind is linked to the pursuit of flight.
To close to the sun, now the damage is done
Irreversible damage due to proximity to the sun.
To close to the sun, watch the world come undone
Observing the world coming apart due to closeness to the sun.
Consume, abuse, as we take to the skies
Engaging in consumption and abuse during the pursuit of flight.
Enslave, misuse, as the temperatures rise
Enslavement and misuse accompany the rise in temperatures.
Now we ascend towards our own demise
Ascending towards self-destruction.
A world engulfed in the fires of pride
A world consumed by the fires of pride.
To close to the sun, now the damage is done
Irreversible damage due to proximity to the sun.
To close to the sun, watch the world come undone
Observing the world coming apart due to closeness to the sun.
Consumed by fire
The ultimate fate of being consumed by fire.
Consume, abuse, as we take to the skies
Engaging in consumption and abuse during the pursuit of flight.
Enslave, misuse, as the temperatures rise
Enslavement and misuse accompany the rise in temperatures.
Now we ascend towards our own demise
Ascending towards self-destruction.
A world destined to die
A world destined to die.
