The Sphinx — текст песни (Lear Amanda)

I wish I could be like the king
Who said to his people: my friends
This it now the end, if we loose the battle
We shall live forever.
The 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 friend
And I keep looking for all the faces I had
Before the world began.
I`ve only known 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, though 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 any more
Phony words of love or painfully 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.
