Cleopatra

[Verse 1] She wore her rule like silk On a ship of cedar gold Eyes like a sharpened coin And a plan nobody sold At the palace gate Every guard knew her name She could turn a room And make a storm obey [Pre-Chorus] Lean in close Hear the river say Power can be A beautiful blade [Chorus] Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You don’t beg, you take Cleopatra Make the whole world wait Gold on your tongue Fire in your stare Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You rule it there [Verse 2] They came with crowns and vows She read them like a script One kiss and they were lost One look and they drifted quick Perfume in the heavy air Snake charm in the cup She knew how to smile And how to lift a throne up [Pre-Chorus] Lean in close Hear the river say Power can be A beautiful blade [Chorus] Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You don’t beg, you take Cleopatra Make the whole world wait Gold on your tongue Fire in your stare Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You rule it there [Bridge] When the walls all shake And the night grows long You don’t fold your hand You just stand strong Let them write your fate Let them play their game You put on your crown And have them say your name [Final Chorus] Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You don’t beg, you take Cleopatra Make the whole world wait Gold on your tongue Fire in your stare Cleopatra (Cleopatra) You rule it there (Cleopatra)
