Icarus

In Greek mythology, Icarus (the Latin spelling, conventionally adopted in English; Ancient Greek: Ἴκαρος, Íkaros, Etruscan: Vikare) is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth.

Dear soldier
In the sky
I've come to ask you why you were taken before your time
Dear soldier
In the air
I've come to ask you where the light faded into despair

And I know that I won't receive an answer from you
But I can't bring myself to stop

Dear soldier
What is it
Like up there, I've wanted to know just never quite like this
Dear soldier
How are you
Are you okay or do you need someone to join you soon

And I know that I won't receive an answer from you
But I can't bring myself to stop

Dear soldier

Of what life will be like alone
We're broken
We're dead inside
We can't help but dream you'll come home

I can't take this anymore
I cannot breathe, I cannot cry
I don't think I will survive
We can't take this anymore
All of the long and lonesome nights
That we spend wondering why

Dear soldier
Please wake me up
From this nightmare that I'm living in
Dear soldier
Please hold me close
I can't stop myself from shivering
