[Verse 1]
I ruled the sands of Egypt's land, a queen of ancient times,
With fiery passion in my heart and wisdom in my eyes,
From the Nile to distant lands, they came to see me shine,
A pharaoh's might, a regal sight, my power so divine.
[Pre-Chorus]
But behind the throne, I longed for more,
A love to fill this empty core,
In shadows cast, I searched the night,
For a soul to hold me tight.
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Yeah! The queen of desire,
Burning like a phoenix, my soul on fire,
In the arms of love, I yearn to be,
Cleopatra, Yeah! Forever free!
[Verse 2]
I found a conqueror from Rome, a man of strength and might,
With Marc Antony by my side, we'd conquer any fight,
But kingdoms fall, and time betrays, our love met tragic ends,
As empires crumble, tears were shed, we lost our dearest friends.
[Pre-Chorus]
In history books, my name lives on,
A legacy of love now gone,
Yet through the ages, still, I cry,
For love that never truly died.
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Yeah! The queen of desire,
Burning like a phoenix, my soul on fire,
In the arms of love, I yearn to be,
Cleopatra, Yeah! Forever free!
[Bridge]
Oh, Egypt's sands may hide my tears,
But through the years, my heart still hears,
The echoes of a love once true,
A love I lost, a love I knew.
[Verse 3]
Now as I gaze upon the stars, I wonder where he'll be,
My Mark Antony, are you there, in realms I cannot see?
But even though I'm gone from Earth, my spirit's ever near,
In every sunset's golden hue, my love will reappear.
[Chorus]
Cleopatra, Yeah! The queen of desire,
Burning like a phoenix, my soul on fire,
In the arms of love, I yearn to be,
Cleopatra, Yeah! Forever free!
[Outro]
Cleopatra, Yeah! The legend lives on,
Through sands of time, my spirit's drawn,
In history's embrace, I find my home,
Cleopatra, Yeah! Forever known!
