Alis Volat Propriis

Alis volat propriis
They lift him above his suffering
Take him closer to the ever alluring sun
Brimming with his childish innocence,
He can't help but fly closer
Can't help but ignore his fathers manic pleas
His father, frozen in place, cannot do anything as his son abandons him in favor of the sun's loving rays
Can't help but remain paralyzed as his son begins to plunge from the sky
Cant seem to be able to tear his eyes from his son's fall from grace
But even on his way to his demise he can't help but think
Everything is beautiful when you're engulfed in flames
