I'm lost in the Labyrinth
This unsolvable maze
Condemned for knowledge I can't help but have
I want to be free
Birds, oh birds come to me
For I have a plan that will set me free
Wings of feathers and wings of wax
I need both to fulfill this task
Soaring up high, above the clouds
Look at that maze now
I tease the sea and challenge the sun
For at last, I am free
Birds, oh birds fly with me
This plan of mine has set me free
Wings with your feathers, wings with my wax
I used both and fulfilled this task
But my first flight became my last
For I challenged the sun and lost
I flew up high to be thrown back down
Is this what it means to be free?
Birds, oh birds please help me
This plan of mine has set me free
Free from your feathers, free from my wax
Because of my arrogance, I failed this task
Here I lie beneath the sea
Deep down in the grasp of Hades.
Free I am, but not what I wanted
From one prison to another
The birds, the birds, they can't help me
Never again will I be free
Not with feathers, not with wax
Never again to challenge that task.

Description:
I was reading the myth of Icarus and his father as a Latin assignment and this just kinda popped out.
Hope you like it and please tell me what you think! Thankies - Date: 12/16/2008
