Icarus Calling

Icarus Calling (11.11.17)

This is Icarus calling in,
Now I'm under radar sight,
Now the cover of the night
Is wearing thin and day is bright.

This is Icarus calling in,
Flying low on metal wings,
Taking photographs of things,
Click, click, click, my camera sings.

This is Icarus calling in,
I save all in blacks and whites,
Every day new danger flights,
Capturing secrets in my sights.

This is Icarus calling in,
Flying high in foreign sky,
Sunshine blinding in my eye,
The enemy caught out the spy.

This is Icarus calling in,
I've been hit along the wing,
Now I'm downward spiralling,
With the blue ocean beckoning...

I do not scream and cannot shout,
This is fate I have no doubt,
The gods gather all about,
This is Icarus signing out.
