[Intro – whisper | low cello drone]
“Come forth, my lovely Sphinx, and put your head upon my knee…”

[Deep cello strike]

You called me long before tonight…

[Verse 1]
You sit there carved in shadow and gold
A face too perfect… still and cold
Your eyes don’t move… but I can feel

[Soft cello pulse]

There’s something in you… far too real

[Verse 2]
You speak of silence… yet you came
To stand before what has no name
“I have sat by you all the night…”

[Hollow cello note]

And watched you try… to win this fight

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t breathe… you don’t decay
I outlived every god you pray

[Two slow cello strikes]

[Chorus]
You don’t speak… but I still fall

[Cello swell rising]

Through your silence… through it all
Your beauty cuts without a blade

[Deep cello hit]

Like something love was never made
You call it love… I call it truth
A mirror held to restless youth

[Verse 3]
“You watched the lovers in their sin…”

[Cello pulse]

Their trembling hands… their fragile skin
You saw them burn… you saw them fade
And still you never turned away

[Verse 4]
“You heard the lovers cry…”
Yet never once… asked them why
You fear the stillness that I keep
Because I wake… while you still sleep

[Rising cello tension]

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t forgive… you don’t condemn
I simply remain… beyond all men

[Echoing cello strikes]

[Bridge – confrontation → cello solo]
I tried to run… I tried to hide
You only walked deeper inside

[Cello bends upward, emotional]

What are you…? What do you want…?
To show you… what you are not

[Cello Solo – the Sphinx speaks without words]

[Deep, controlled Cello beginning rises into emotional, almost seductive phrasing ends in a long, haunting sustain]

[Final Chorus]
You don’t speak… but I still fall
Through your silence… through it all

[Massive cello strike]

You were falling long before…
You don’t move… but I remain
Bound within what you became

[Cello + strings swelling]

[Outro – whisper, intimate]
“Come forth… my lovely 
Sphinx…”
I never left…

[Single fading cello note]
