Текст песни: The Sphinx + перевод

I wish I could be like the king

Who said to his people: my friends

This is 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 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

Through God knows how I try —

A sphinx can never cry

And sphinxes never die

I’m famous or am I infamous?

It doesen’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

I am standing in the sun
