Carlotto's Image
The image you view, you see every day
But there will be a day, when I will have my say
For the time is now soon to find out from where you came
You people from earth, your tomorrows won't be the same
This Sphinx like character on my planet called Mars
If you look very closely you'll see typical humanoid scars
Your archaeologists excavate us, every other day
One day they'll strike lucky and your whole world will pay
For I am not a Sphinx, I am from where you came from
If you look very closely, with you I belong
You see me on the dark side, just my mouth and my eye
I'm the start of your civilization, but I haven't died
