The Sphinx |
| I wish I could be like the king |
| Who said to his people: «My friends |
| This is now the end |
| If we lose this battle |
| We shall live forever |
| People of the sun will remember this day |
| And give us immortality |
| Long after I’ve gone |
| Long after the sun" |
| I want to be like this king |
| But I can’t stand the pain, my friends |
| And I keep looking for all the faces I had |
| Before the world began |
| I’ve only know desire and my poor soul will burn |
| Into eternal fire |
| And I can’t even cry |
| A sphinx can never cry |
| I am standing in the sun |
| I wish that I could be |
| A silent sphinx eternally |
| I don’t want any past |
| Only want things which cannot last |
| And I can’t even cry |
| The God knows how I try |
| A sphinx can never cry |
| And sphinxes never die |
| I’m famous or am I infamous? |
| It doesn’t matter much anymore |
| Phony words of love or painful truth |
| I’ve heard it all before |
| Appraisal or critics and even politics |
| A conversation piece |
| A woman or a priest |
| It’s all a point of view |
| I am standing in the sun |
| I wish that I could be |
| A silent sphinx eternally |
| I don’t want any past |
| Only want things which cannot last |
| And I can’t even cry |
| Sphinxes never cry |
| And sphinxes never die |
| A sphinx can never cry |
