Oh, Icarus Primary example of the human folly. The wings and feathers destroyed by the heat of a sun you thought you could bear. Oh, Icarus You are a foolish one. Excessive ambition never makes it to see the light of day. You had too much hope in yourself. Your pride took you away. Oh, Icarus The words of Daedalus fell upon death ears. Failure to heed to a warning was your demise. Oh, Icarus Wings so mighty and beautiful. What I would do to fly so high. To soar above the clouds and meet the beautiful rays. Oh, Icarus Fly back to the sun. Melt your wax and ruin your feathers, once more. Oh, Icarus We need someone brave enough to fly close to the sun. Plummet into the ocean again after , if you must. Every human here is lily-livered.
