lyrics

Shall I take from the emperor that which is his?
Will I shed his robes and taste of his lips?
Shall I grasp his flame and reach the sun
And surpass the Icarus that I once was?

Or will her sorrow swoon me sound
And swallow me til six feet down?
A slender chance that I might claim
my rightful name before too long.
Unless the fates of winter wait,
Alas, a harsh but perfect song
About a boy with feather dreams
And bitter bliss that line his wings.

So cross your heart and fold your hands
As I invoke the names
Of the lion and the lamb.
