Icarus,
Icarus,
you mesmerize me.
You always have done; you always will be
the youth who defied his own gods, so boldly.
Why must to your tale be so steeped in tragedy?
Mortal child? Mortal person, the sun itself can't sine as brightly.
The sun itself can't shine as brightly as you,
Icarus.

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is
We'll watch the fish swim by us above
I'll be under the sea where Icarus is
We'll be written in blood and in love
I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me
Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity
Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies
Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals
I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t
I’ll give all I have for love universal
You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant
———
Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me
You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry
Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.
No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty
———
I’d rather die than go against your morals
I will not eat because your people can’t
I’ll give all I have for love universal
I’ll follow you no matter how they rant
———
Fatherland hits Motherland
He shouts and screams and rages
Economy fuelled by blood
Her people must earn wages
Fatherland hits Motherland
He thinks he is a good man
Her stitched mouth and soul that floods
I must do all that I can
———
I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals
I will not eat because Motherland can’t
Humanity is for love universal
I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant
