You are not the only one
who has seen the Sphinx
and let’s be honest,
at least once,
you thought about
taking away its wings.

You can’t live like daisies in the winter
and expect the underground
to feed your existence.

Nor can you dance
with the Sphinx
when you don’t know
the answer to the riddle.

I let you in – as per destiny –
emerged from desire,
disturbed by your charm.
Oh, I’m not talking about it –
let’s not talk about it.
You don’t have the answer –
the answer to the riddle.

At any time
and any space
at any moment
and any face,
I can forget you.

Like I told you,
like I told you,
like I told you.

I’ve fed you the answer,
then I begged you
and I begged you
and I begged you –
to learn the question.

You are not the only one
who has seen the Sphinx
and let’s be honest,
at least once,
you thought about dying.
