An icon (from Greek εἰκών eikōn "image") is typically a painting depicting Christ, Mary, saints and/or angels, which is venerated among Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and in certain Catholic Churches.
Icons may also be cast in metal, carved in stone, embroidered on cloth, painted on wood, done in mosaic or fresco work, printed on paper or metal, etc. Icons are often illuminated with a candle or jar of oil with a wick. (Beeswax for candles and olive oil for oil lamps are preferred because they burn very cleanly, although other materials are sometimes used.) The illumination of religious images with lamps or candles is an ancient practice pre-dating Christianity.
Although common in translated works from Greek or Russian, in English iconography does not mean icon painting, and "iconographer" does not mean an artist of icons, which are painted or carved, not "written", as they are in those languages.
Comparable images from Western Christianity are generally not described as "icons", although "iconic" may be used to describe a static style of devotional image.

You didn't say I'd be blind
Without them
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Thine eyes rain down from heaven
You always said I'd be blind
Without them
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Those words hang like vicious spittle
Dribbling from that tongue
Close your eyes to your lies
Force feed more pious meat
Those nebulous codes and disciplines
Stick in that new born throat
Instill a lie, an artificial eye
To view a perfect land
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Can I stick skewers in my skin
And whirl a dervish spin?
Can I set myself on fire
To prove some kind of desire?
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
The guilt is golden
The guilt is golden
Those ageless lies
The shuttered eyes
It's the night piece
It's the icon
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
Icons, feed the fires
Icons, falling from the spires
The guilt is golden
The guilt is golden
Golden, golden
