The enigma of the Sphinx

Knowledge is a mirroring path, revealing the future while reflecting the past. My soul walks on this path through oceans of time.
Lost in the endless labyrinth of the Cosmos.
Searching for an answer to a question yet unspoken. My quest for the truth has lasted for centuries now, through different bodies and lives.
It is unknown if I will ever find the answer to the Sphinx's secret.
Will the gate ever be open? Will my soul ever be set free?
