The Only Ones

Calvert - Brock - )
Icarus flew too near the sun
Into the blue h8is red wax did run
He fell to the earth and sealed the scroll
The daredevil angels our luck would unfold
They are the only ones
The chosen only ones
They are the only ones who are free
Half-human half-bird ascending so high
No whisper is heard from deep in the sky
On wings they climb, they beat and they soar
Through space and time toward heaven's door
In chariots of fury and flame
We head for above to stake out our claim
With radioscopes, electronic eyes
We scan for our hopes in different skies
