Beware the sphinx's hieroglyph.
Keep your words and do not stay-
No message is to be found in this.
The dessert will never show you bliss
The answers will be blown away;
Beware the sphinx's hieroglyph.
No, history can not promise
The gold, old riddles bluntly lay.
No message is to be found in this.
The seekers can ask if God exists
And the sand will let them have their say.
Beware the Sphinx's hieroglyph.
Seers can lie in one small hiss,
Mother's throw their babes away.
Beware the Sphinx's hieroglyph.
But the boy will find out what he is
And take, with greed, more than he may.
Beware the Sphinx's hieroglyph-
No message is to be found in this.
