[Guitar Solo Intro]


[Verse 1]

You live in a world that is just

Way too strange to conceive

Angel's dressed in black

Most of the people who seem to be

Lost in the dark

Are they all too real?


[Pre-Chorus]

Always a good time, never lonely (Lonely)

Suddenly realized the blood red tears from my eyes

There was nothing much

I could do

But watch you die


[Chorus]

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus


[Verse 2]

First time I met you I wanted

To be by your side

And let my hair grow long

Those days are gone

But I still fly by night

Bringing life to the dead


[Pre-Chorus]

Even through times when I felt lonely (Lonely)

Suddenly realized the blood red tears from my eyes

There was nothing much I could do

But watch you die


[Chorus]

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus

Night after night

Upon forces unknown

Metal Icarus


[Bridge]

Those were the years

I can still feel the windy heights

Against my skin

And if I close my eyes

I'm flying over hills


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus

Night after night

Upon forces unknown

Metal Icarus

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus

Night after night

Upon forces unknown

Metal Icarus


[Outro]

Those where the years

I can still feel the windy heights

Against my skin

And if I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Close my eyes

I'm flying over hills

Flying over hills

Flying over hills
