wings of feathers and wax

Beloved boy with melted wings From summers long ago With rosy cheeks the evergreens Followed you to and fro Apollo, strike me down with him Or take me to the Lethe I've breathed in the Acheron More times than I have breathed This gift I was given is a curse unto me I warned you time and time again You still did as you pleased Angels fall to earth in such serenity We're all doomed to bear witness, especially me The sun will be your rival, and so will the sea If you'd have waited a little while longer Maybe you'd be free I will stand by all of your failures A loyal servant Hubristic, high, and lovely With a mind so fervent Circe, why'd you save him? Did you know what he'd become? Did you know about my sweet boy's death, The strings the fates would strum? The child that you saved that day Was never one at all He grew into a monster but a monster we are all Angels fall to earth in such serenity We're all doomed to bear witness, especially me The sun will be your rival, and so will the sea If you'd have waited a little while longer Maybe you'd be free The sun will be your rival, and so will the sea If you'd have waited a little while longer Maybe you'd be free
