Do you think the Sphinx is sad? Because he cannot find a rhyme for lunatic. Or is it that he first saw man make time And wisely knew that timeless happiness was gone And living would never again be quite the same? Quite the same! You think that weight of the world Lies forever upon your shoulder But I have been here a long time For such a long time And believe me I know How to feel colder Than cold... I will forgive and forget And I would like to try and understand Because the more I learn The less I regret So please tell me more, Please tell me how it was And how it could have been? You like to watch me Live in this desert Of sand, as the dust of time Passes through my hands You with your future And me with my endless guilt You with your hate And me with my raging thirst. I will forgive and forget Because I can feel the brightness Of the sun And the more I learn The less I regret As the change that's in my heart Has now begun. Uncertain in the dark So sure in the day Afraid in the night Braver in the light Aware of the cost And the price you buy To end all this hurting And learn to find a way. I am a dark and hungry man I am alive and I feel the sun I am a dark and hungry man I am alive with fear in my blood! I am a dark and hungry man I am alive as I feel the sun I am a dark and hungry man But time will teach us To talk to one another ..........in Time!
