lyrics

Ikarus

I'm an eagle,
i'm a king,
i'm the ruler, cannot sin.

I'm principle,
no natural, no law.

there's no think apostroph,
there's no such thing as enough is enough!

Icaros, Icaros, don't fly so high,
Icaros, please recall,
pride comes before a fall.
We think: „we're gods!“
Ignore our nature and laugh into the face of faith.

It's a story, old as mankind, climbing mountains we are not ought to climb.
Diving waters, way to deep, building towers when we need to creep.
We lack respect for what is given and are the pestilence that poisons unforgiven.
But the only thing we need to do is: Sit, lean back and wait for it!

Higher, faster, further, up to the sun!
Higher, faster, further in every thing we've done.
We reach up ignorant for foe and friend,
higher, faster, further until the end.

There's no future left in this profit grasping world!

Higher, faster, further, up to the sun!
Higher, faster, further in every thing we've done.
We reach up ignorant for foe and friend,
higher, faster, further until the end.

There's no future left in this profit grasping world!

I'm an eagle,
i'm a king,
i'm the ruler, cannot sin.

I'm principle,
no natural, no law.

there's no think apostroph,
there's no such thing as enough is enough!

Icaros, Icaros, don't fly so high,
Icaros, please recall,
pride comes before a fall.
We think: „we're gods!“
Ignore our nature and laugh into the face of faith.

about

Circus of Fools image

Circus of Fools Tübingen, Germany

Circus of Fools is, by all means, a live band: a bombastic show, elaborate costumes, a charismatic front-man, a female singer with an extremely versatile voice and congenial musicians provide an inherently consistent picture between moral and madness. These anarchistic clowns are the filthy reflection of our society and an incredibly energetic band. ... more
