Сфинкс у Нила

[Verse 1] Carved of stone by ancient hands He gazes down on shifting sands Body of a lion, wings of pride A thousand secrets locked inside Guarding the pharaohs' eternal rest The ultimate test [Chorus] Oh, guardian of the sacred tide When mortals stray and nations divide With wings of the eagle and heart of stone He watches the realm from his ancient throne But when the blood and the gold run red He leaps from the pedestal, flees in dread Deep in the desert he buries his head Leaving the kingdom in fear and dread [Verse 2] By the banks of the winding Nile he stands Watching the dawn on the timeless lands Where solstices burn in the summer sky And winter suns rise cold and high He sees the wars and the greed of men And turns his face to the dunes again [Chorus] Oh, guardian of the sacred tide When mortals stray and nations divide With wings of the eagle and heart of stone He watches the realm from his ancient throne But when the blood and the gold run red He leaps from the pedestal, flees in dread Deep in the desert he buries his head Leaving the kingdom in fear and dread [Outro] Buried in sand... Waiting for peace... The ancient silence returns.
