The Enigma

[Verse] In the twilight hour Whispers fill the air The cicada-shaped sphinx A riddle too unfair Mysteries hidden beneath its wings Deep as the sea A puzzle unsolved Awaiting discovery Unveiling its secrets A quest for the bold Seeking the truth A story yet untold Lost in its gaze Hypnotized by the night The enigma awaits Tempting those in its sight [Verse 2] A creature of myth Haunting with every cry Its voice A symphony Echoes through the sky The sphinx of cicadas Painted by moonlight Enchanting all travelers caught in its sight [Chorus] In the shadows it lingers A guardian of lore Ancient and wise It watches evermore Through the ages it stands A sentinel of time Guarding its mysteries In silence so sublime [Verse 3] A dance in the darkness Its wings start to gleam Reflecting the starlight In a nocturnal dream Its presence a beacon For the brave and the lost Those who seek answers No matter the cost Through deserts and forests The legend prevails A timeless enigma In haunting details The cicada-shaped sphinx A riddle so profound Its secrets entombed In silence unbound A timeless enigma In haunting details The cicada-shaped sphinx A riddle so profound Its secrets entombed In silence unbound [Outro] In the shadows it lingers A guardian of lore Ancient and wise It watches evermore Through the ages it stands A sentinel of time Guarding its mysteries In silence so sublime
