Ancient Wings Of Icarus

While on my quest to find the Holy Grail,
hitchhiking far across this crazy land,
I almost trip over long dragon tail
that teleports my soul to Samarkand.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

For deep inside my heart I hear the voice
of humankind cry out for joyful peace
because we make our fate with every choice
since Plato pondered life in sunlit Greece.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Yet when the mighty wind of change blows wild
across our land from sea to shining sea
we rise with spirit of the newborn child
and shape this land so everyone lives free.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Young wizard on the winding diamond road
lifts ladder of brave opportunity
so when hard rain falls at hum of the toad
we bind all tribes in one community.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

I travel with guitar of Mercury
and sing in every town of working folk
to cast bright vision with dream sorcery
converting minds to lifestyle of the Woke.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Though sea of tears divides our lonely hearts
we build global Bridge of Togetherness
so rainbows shining on our psychic charts
guide us to meadow of the shepherdess.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Long after empire of America
falls from our disillusionment in truth,
we gather in feast hall of Onatah
where we vote for our new messiah sleuth.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Though I am lost in land of Zathamar,
Seattle to Miami on the road,
my soul transforms into the Morning Star
from eating mushroom of the Buddha Toad.
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly
around this world shaped like a giant eye.

Orpheus and Ophelia sing Ancient Wings of Icarus with mercurial voices of nostalgia at the reunion concert to celebrate grunge folk music of the nineties.
