FLIGHT OF ICARUS

(Smith/Dickinson)

 

As the sun breaks above the ground, an old man stands on the hill

As the ground warms to the first rays of light, a birdsong shatters the still

 

His eyes are ablaze, see the madman in his gaze

 

Fly on your way, like an eagle

Fly as high the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
 
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears, looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd, "in the name of God my father I fly"
 
His eyes seem so glazed, as he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed, now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
 
Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun

I'VE GOT THE FIRE

(Ronnie Montrose)

IM

If you're looking for someone that you can keep then, baby, pass me by

And if you wanted something that's twenty years deep

Baby, don't even try

And if you wanted someone to take your soul

I'll lift you up little bit higher

IM
I've got the fire
I've got the fire
IM
So you think I'm skinny, don't you sell me cheap
I'm as wide as a country-mile
Some like it wide, I like it deep
Guess which one is my style
So you think you can beat me by my own game
Maybe I call you a liar
IM
I've got the fire
I've got the fire
