Eloy - Sphynx lyrics

I left the worldly spheres behind

into atmospheres unknow

to the planet of silence

ancient tales have told

of sphinx on his throne

create an aura unique

his superior mind doesn't need

space or time

pass through rooms of now and past

and leave the future way behind

move through dimensions unexplained palace of eternity

Wisdom's books I search

in these temples of sphynx

pyramids of peace meaningless time

no such thing as time

quetly trace him slowly

and finally I confront him

he silently gazes with a piercing look

I'm overpowered, and struck by anxiety

his charisma enlightns me

his eyes tell tales I couldn't see

sphinx is superior to my fate

he motions me, though no word is said

one last glance he turns away and he spreads his wings

slowly rising soars up to the heights

the brightest star yet seen comes into sight

ancient tales have told of sphinx on his throne

create an aura unique his superior mind

doesn't need space or time
