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
