歌曲歌词
I wish I could be like the king
Who said to his people my friends
This is now the end
If we loose this battle
We will 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 known desire
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
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
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
I can't even cry
Though god knows how I
Try
A sphinx can never cry
And sphinxes never die
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
I can't even cry
Though god knows how I
Try
A sphinx can never cry
And sphinxes never die
