|
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 |
