Wings of Feather and Wax Lyrics

Cut from wire, blind of light, from another breed
Realize wrong from right, turning raw inside of me
Having visions in the sight, like cutting razor wire
We live on through the night, night of eternal fire

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Wings above, danger's near, they're coming down
Flying close to the sun, you will only hit the ground
The silence is so deafening, the end is just the beginning
Inside the void, I hear you scream

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Arise, arise, not so close to the sky
Alive, alive, when you face death, you feel alive
Kill it, kill it, channel your animal side
Fire, fire, it's time to start a riot

Unleash your wings
Unleash your soul
Unleash yourself
From the sun

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Wings of Feather and Wax

A band formed by vocalist Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan), guitarist Max Cavalera (Soulfly), bassist Troy Sanders (Mastodon), and drummer Dave Elitch (The Mars Volta), Killer Be Killed released its debut album in 2014, with the songs composed by Puciato, Cavalera and Sanders.

The song is a reference to Icarus, a figure in Greek mythology whose father Daedalus crafted him wings made of feathers and wax. Icarus flew too close to the sun, which melted his wings and led to his doom.

The tale is an allegory of unchecked ambition - believing you are capable of more than you are. In this song, the Puciato relates the myth to one-sided relationships. "I've gone out of my way certain times in my life to the point of self-destructive co-dependency where I was trying to fix something or someone, or change something or someone, and I was hurting myself in the process," he told us. "I took that to its absolute limit in a couple of personal relationships in my life around the time of the last year or two. "Feather Wax" references that. It's an inability to fix people's problems that aren't yours." (Here's our full Greg Puciato interview .)
