about

The imagery behind the song takes the story of Icarus, who flies too far towards the sun so his wings ultimately melt and he falls back down into the depths of the ocean. Much like we humans, who always crave for more and more despite the consequences for ourselves and our planet. But down there in the dark depths of the sea - where all colors fade - we're all the same. And we share the same destiny. It's time to unite.

lyrics

Like Icarus we fly
This is how we die
This is our call to arms

all we know is just a drop
and drop for drop we fill the sea
with blood and hope
with dreams and fear
we rest in peace

For ages we strive for the sun
To feed our endless greed
But soon our wings will cripple
We’re bound to fall

Can you feel the thunder
Underneath your skin
The echoes of the past come to haunt us
For our fathers sins

Like Icarus We Fly
This Is How We Die
This is our call to arms

down in the abysse we are many
all different but still the same
Down in the dark all colors fade
we’re all bound by our destiny

bound by our destiny
we must unite

abandoned souls lost in the storm
We still have hope
to reach a safe haven

Gather your weapons
Tear down these walls
If we can’t stay here alive
Then we will stay here dead

There is still hope
to reach a safe haven

Like Icarus We Fly
This is How We DIe
This is our call to arms

OCEANS Berlin, Germany

All we know is just a drop. What we don’t know is an ocean.
Powerful as a tsunami and as eternal as the deep sea, OCEANS rose from the blackened heart of the void in 2018, embracing despair, wrath and darkness.
