Song of the Sphinx Songtext

von Simeon Soul Charger

One day your born one day you'll die
Gotta look like an angel in your mothers eye
Gotta grow like a sparrow for someday you'll fly
Ain't gotta thing but time

And then your grown gonna get your kicks
Do you run towards the devil and his clever tricks
Do you make the kind a worries you can never fix
To keep for all this time

One day you gotta do like your daddy's right
Gotta go to work and pay your fines
Well you got some dreams but you got some time
And I got things I call mine

There's always something else to do
The wants are many but the times are few
A little bit older brought you something soon
And I'm sure there is still time
Got a little man inside my head
A selfish begger with a nagging beg
A tree eyed devil with a gift to tempt
God damn you devil mine

A young man passes by an old man stoop
The old mans jealous of the young mans youth
Somewhere I was once a young man too
Where did go all my time?

Full of grace, the eyes of babes
Who cast thier gaze in awe
Now we pray for god I wait
My pace remains a crawl

Run to the moment but the moment passed
Seems I couldn't make the good ones last
I ran from the devil but the devils fast
God damn you devil Die

And when death catches up to you
The road was steady and the stops were few
The regrets were many and you found no truth
God damn you devil Time
God damn you devil Mine
God damn you devil Die
