Song of the Sphinx from the Simeon Soul Charger album "Meet Me in the Afterlife" performed Live and Unplugged in Ingolstadt, Germany

lyrics

One day you're born
One day you'll die
Gotta look like an angel in your mother's eye
Gotta grow like a sparrow for someday you'll fly
Aint gotta thing but time

And then you're grown
Gonna get your kicks
Do you run to the devil and his clever tricks
Do you make the kinda 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've got some dreams
But you've got some time
And I got things I call mine

There's always something else to do
The wants are many but times are few
A little bit older, but you'll start things soon
I'm sure there is still time

Got a little man inside my head
A selfish beggar with a nagging beg
A three-eyed devil with a gift to tempt
Goddamn you devil mine

An old man passes by a young man's stoop
The old man's jealous of the young man's youth
Somewhere I was once a young man too
Where did go all my time

Full of grace
The eyes of babes
Who cast their gaze in awe
Now in grey
For God I wait
My pace remains a crawl

I clung to the moment, but the moment passed
It seems I couldn't make the good ones last
I ran from the devil, but the devil's fast
Goddamn you devil time

And then death catches up to you
The road was steady and the stops real few
But regrets were many and you found no truth
Goddamn you devil mine
Goddamn you devil time
Goddamn you devil die
