Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel) - Proginoskes - 04-11-2011
I cannot believe it isn't here (I thought I got it from either here or Drunkard's Walk itself to begin with, fer cryin' out loud!), but I tried Google, the board search, and visually scanning the first fifteen pages of the thread list, and Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel) by Kansas was nowhere to be found.
Quote:Early in the morning sunlightBest guess for power: causes Doug to grow wings like an angel's, but with feathers that seem to be made of highly-polished steel. Doug doesn't notice the weight on his wings, but shed feathers seem to be as dense as steel. Despite lacking any of the characteristics that normally make feathered wings a viable flight mechanism, Doug's steel wings allow him to fly. Indeed, he becomes more and more strongly compelled to fly the longer he stays on the ground.
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't come down no more
Higher than a bird I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel I have so much to feel
And I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth so far below me,
I'm here alone and I,
I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Huh. I am not in any way a comprehensive and compulsive Kansas fan, so that's one I've not heard. I'll have to hop over to Youtube and find a video with it, but tentatively, sure.
