Sphinx

Eyes glow Vestal virgins laugh In the swirling smoke As the pyramid explodes I poke down the Nile I see the Sphinx smile She knows who I am As she grabs me by the hand Well I sat at my trial And the pharaoh smiled Said he knows what I am I'm the curse, I'm the birth I'm the reaper and the plague And I want you little man The Sphinx smiles and spreads her wings The pharaoh shouts his curse of kings Golden spheres evolve around him And I float away on a freezing wind I scream and shout Turn myself to run And the worlds disappear I'm in a maze that sways I've forgotten what the day is And my body shakes with fear I must try to escape Before the Minotaur awakes Now my body feels like lead I try to open doors But I've led me there before This for something that I said The Sphinx smiles and spreads her wings The pharaoh shouts his curse of kings Golden spheres evolve around him And I float away on a freezing wind Sphinx - ooh Sphinx - ooh The Sphinx smiles and spreads her wings The pharaoh shouts his curse of kings Golden spheres evolve around him And I float away on a freezing wind The Sphinx smiles and spreads her wings The pharaoh shouts his curse of kings Golden spheres evolve around him And I float away on a freezing wind...
