He was given wings to fly from his prison
And before he rose, he was warned to not fly too high
For the Sun would melt the wax upon his wings
But he loved the freedom his wings gave him too much to notice the melting-
Until the ocean was taking his body by an indifferent Poseidon
The inventor’s son became the ambassador's daughter
Feathers became jewels, the wings became the crown, freedom became power
Crete became England
She was given royalty to rise from her nobility
And before she rose, she was warned to not rise too high
For the King would remove the crown upon her head
But she loved the power her status gave her too much to notice the removal-
Until the axe was taking her head by an indifferent executor
