Title: "Falling Like Icarus"

(Somber piano with a slow, steady beat)

Verse 1:
I flew too high, I reached too far,
Chasing dreams that left me scarred.
Icarus, he felt the flame,
We both got burned, all just the same.

Pre-Chorus:
With wings of wax and fragile pride,
I fell apart when I defied.

Chorus:
I’m falling like Icarus, out of control,
Lost in the sky, but losing my soul.
The harder I push, the harder I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Verse 2:
Prometheus stole fire from the gods,
Chained to a rock, he paid the cost.
Like him, I dared to take too much,
Now all my dreams turn to dust.

Pre-Chorus:
With every spark, a curse, a scar,
We reached for the light, but fell too far.

Chorus:
I’m falling like Icarus, out of control,
Lost in the sky, but losing my soul.
The harder I push, the harder I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Verse 3:
Achilles, the warrior, so strong, so bold,
But even he couldn't hold.
Patroclus fought, wore his name,
But it ended in ashes, all the same.

(slower, softer)
With every step, I lose my shield,
A fatal wound that won’t be healed.

Pre-Chorus:
Just like him, I fall with pride,
Forgot the flaw I couldn’t hide.

Chorus:
I’m falling like Icarus, out of control,
Lost in the sky, but losing my soul.
The harder I push, the harder I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Verse 4:
Caeneus was a warrior, strong and free,
But even he could not flee.
Once invincible, but crushed by the end,
Buried beneath the earth, where strength bends.

Pre-Chorus:
The earth rebelled, the sky refused,
Even the strongest can be bruised.

Chorus:
I’m falling like Icarus, wings melting fast,
I thought I could fly, but nothing can last.
The higher I climb, the further I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Verse 5:
The Minotaur, trapped in his maze,
Born to be lost, born to decay.
Fighting the walls, but nowhere to run,
His end, a battle that could not be won.

Pre-Chorus:
Just like him, I fought in vain,
A beast alone, locked in my pain.

Chorus:
I’m falling like Icarus, out of control,
Lost in the sky, but losing my soul.
The harder I push, the harder I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Bridge:
(Softer, reflective)
Orpheus looked back, lost it all,
Eurydice fades at his final call.
I keep reaching for things I can't save,
But every hope slips to the grave.

(Slow, ominous)
Oedipus tried to change his fate,
But you can’t outrun what waits...

(Crescendo)
Medea, in her rage and pain,
Found no glory, only shame.

Pre-Chorus (Emotional rise):
We all fall down, from pride, from grace,
The gods just laugh at our slow race.

Chorus (Final, powerful):
I’m falling like Icarus, wings melting fast,
I thought I could fly, but nothing can last.
The higher I climb, the further I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Verse 6:
Tantalus reached for food and drink,
But every time, it slipped the brink.
Endless thirst, endless regret,
Like him, I can’t escape this debt.

(Building intensity)
Sisyphus, he climbs again,
A circle with no end…

Final Chorus (Dramatic, swelling):
I’m falling like Icarus, out of control,
Lost in the sky, but losing my soul.
The harder I push, the harder I fall,
I wanted it all, now I've lost it all.

Outro (Fading):
I flew too high... now I’m falling down,
Cursed by the dream, forever bound...

(Final soft piano chord, fading into silence)
