Lyrics
mmm~
yeah~
[Verse 1]
Verses from the Queen of the Nile, hear my tale
I'm Cleopatra, last pharaoh of Egypt's line
Born sixty-nine BC, Ptolemaic reign
Power and romance, my story's one of pain
From birth I was groomed to rule this ancient land
Studied languages, wisdom to understand
How to command respect, control my domain
Ptolemy my brother first wore the crown's claim
But I would not be just a pretty figurehead
Aimed to be the sole ruler, ambition spread
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Ruler of the fertile Nile
Cunning royal with an iconic style
Powerful, smart and so beguiled
The last pharaoh, a legendary royal
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
At eighteen years, I was appointed co-reign
But soon my brother sought to strip my powers away
Had to flee Egypt to survive the deadly strife
Stakes were so high in that game of royal life
Formed alliances with Romans like Julius
Who I seduced and became lovers with us
Had son Caesarion before dark times unfurled
When Caesar's rule challenged, my world was upturned
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Ruler of the fertile Nile
Cunning royal with an iconic style
Powerful, smart and so beguiled
The last pharaoh, a legendary royal
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Enter Mark Antony, my Roman al-lie
Bore him twins, a daughter and son, before I
Faced Octavian, combatted but couldn't win
So at thirty-nine, I faced my final din
I ruled an era, from fifty-one to thirty
The last pharaoh of Egypt's Ptolemaic line
A scholar, survivor, woman of great power
That's Cleopatra's story that will live forever
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Ruler of the fertile Nile
Cunning royal with an iconic style
Powerful, smart and so beguiled
The last pharaoh, a legendary royal
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[End]
