Icarus Failed

This one was fun. A death metal song with one guitar, to a randomly selected tale of mythology. I ended up with the story of Icarus.

Can I remember what the lyrics are...

Animous, Icarus, from your bastille flow
into Aegean skies, abreast avian nature
Adament Icarus, flaunt your heart of stone
before your father, before the eye of God

Be at ease, waxen wings lift a God to home
into Aegean skies, through an immortal's venture
You lament finite life, hitherto unsolved
until my father welcomed the eye of God

Cast the womb of Knossos
as Minos damned the masses for his losses
and bides his throne
Adept, a blessed hand commands a winged retreat, but listen
as contempt the ears of falling ones who choose to ignore

Thyne flight repeat your father's, not too high nor low
lest you mimic Bootes, Hellice, or the drawn sword of Orion
Do relieve me, it's as I'm told.
My heart shall not deceive me
Let wings unfold the clouds

Lifting heights consumed a confident yet foolish boy
kissed the scorching sun, he's left a falling stone now
Why, Icarus in flight, venturous in height
reaching for a bold wind despite
critical advise, flawless in his eyes
reaching for the skylight

Heaven please, waxen wings weren't enough alone
that I should suffer death, that I'd not know forgiveness
Heaven please, I beg thee not to die alone
Before my father, before the eye of God

Animous Icarus, from your bastille flow
into Aegean skies, abused avian nature
Adament Icarus, flaunt your heart of stone
before your father, before the eye of God

Bereft, a bolide sunset, whose effulgence decreased
abashed he crashed as serpents lash to spread his ash about the pallad sea

In benthos, deserted and deceased
His father, Daedalus, in grief
left born to pain and pathos underneath
a sash of shame, unwanted fame and pools to bask in failure's misery.
