ICARUS

You,

winged as an angel

proudly flew up higher and high

as a god you chase the infinite skies.

Free and fast along the clouds

you wanted to touch the immortal empires

laughing at the stars so long envied.

Too bold became your mortal egotism

and unfaithfull were indeed, your fatal wings

as a fallen angel you fell on the sea

leaving the wide ocean tolling your echoing knell.
