Sphinx Lyrics

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...
