Consider Icarus
Humility will always steer you right
Excessive pride is expensive
Even at the cost of life
Consider Icarus warned
Consider Icarus in excessive mode
Consider Icarus wings melted to death
Overwhelmed he flew too high
Overwhelmed he got too close to the sun
Consider Icarus warned
Consider Icarus in excessive mode
Humility will always steer you right
