original cast of aristos: the musical - o icarus lyrics

Loading...

[patroclus]
two kings walking
down the strand
their shoulders hunch
their shirts are torn

one man limping
one man grim
something cradled
in their arms
now they’re coming
he looks on
one more moment
one more breath

then golden feathers
touch the ground
he tears his hair
who made this mess?

he cries my name
he makes no sound
o icarus
is falling fast

[odysseus]
the men are close
we stay his hand

[phoenix]
he knocks us down

[ajax]
we’re on the floor

[patroclus]
yet one man seems
to understand
[ajax]
he pleads with him

[phoenix]
it’s like before

[agamemnon]
the girl can go

[briseis]
i heed the man
what game they play
i cannot see

the curtains blow
i see him then

[patroclus]
the truth betrayed

[briseis & patroclus]
it cannot be

[patroclus]
and it’s like some story
told to me
i’ve heard this song
i know it well
and this moment seems
like memory
it’s dust in sunlight
breath meets air

and i still believe that
i’m still here
and i’m grieving breathing
and the grief is air

so take my breaths
they catch the breeze
o icarus
your lovely wings

their hearts beat fast
those fragile things
o icarus
your lovely wings
