Cleopatra, I saw you back While the sun beat down my neck History books they undermine Your beauty expands the mind Cleopatra, I’ve arrived Your world lives far behind But I didn’t travel over land Guess I transcend my timeline When I landed, I saw the Sphinx Saw the Nile and rubies Jade and gold and every gift But they mean nothing to me Cleopatra, it only seems Cleopatra, in my dreams Cleopatra Pharaoh, of course I bend I couldn’t talk, I hid my hands You’re the Queen, I am a slave You’re the Mistress of Two Lands Cleopatra, your brown eyes You’re no wicked femme fatale Roman curse that I deny I cry, I fall, I curse the time ’Cause I can’t stop your suicide When I landed, I saw the Sphinx Saw the Nile and rubies Jade and gold and every gift But they mean nothing to me Cleopatra, it only seems Cleopatra, in my dreams I know the Romans at your door I know the man you’ll love before I know the battle, I saw the end I know what history will pretend But what good is standing tall When I can’t save your life at all? When I arrived, I saw the Sphinx Saw the Nile that bathed your feet Saw a Queen the books couldn’t tell How you feel and how you fell Cleopatra, never mine Cleopatra, out of time Cleopatra, it only seems Cleopatra, in my dreams Cleopatra, never mine Cleopatra, out of time Cleopatra, it only seems Cleopatra, in my dreams
