(Oh…) Where the water remembers… I reign. Gold on my collarbone, night on my fingertips, Palace doors in the distance like a promise on my lips. Violins in the corridor, they tremble when I pass, I don’t need to raise my voice to turn the future into glass. They prayed for my surrender, wrote my ending in the sand, But the tide keeps my secrets, and the stars obey my hands. I walk slow like a ritual, silk trailing in the dark— Every step a declaration, every breath a hidden spark. Hush— hear the river calling, It knows my other name. I don’t chase, I don’t borrow— I author every flame. If you want to see devotion, Watch the moonlight on my rings… I’m the Queen of the Nile, I rise with the flood, Silk and stone, holy thunder in my blood. You can build your walls high— I’ll smile, I’ll glide, ’Cause I don’t break, I bloom on the tide. Crown in my gaze, and the night in my smile, Say it soft, say it slow— Queen of the Nile. Na-na-na— (hold your breath) Na-na-na— (feel that sway) Na-na-na— I don’t kneel, I don’t beg— I don’t fade. Harps in the marble garden, echo like a spell, I read the room in silence— I can tell who wants me well. They bring me praise in silver, they bring me fear in red, But I turn their little rumors into roses in my head. I’ve been painted into myths, into warnings, into sins, But I’m older than their whispers and I always, always win. One hand on the future, one on ancient melody— I’m the harmony of power and the hush before the sea. Hush— let the empire listen, My heartbeat keeps the time. I don’t ask to be chosen— I choose my own design. If you want to feel the magic, Watch the starlight on my skin… I’m the Queen of the Nile, I rise with the flood, Silk and stone, holy thunder in my blood. You can build your walls high— I’ll smile, I’ll glide, ’Cause I don’t break, I bloom on the tide. Crown in my gaze, and the night in my smile, Say it soft, say it slow— Queen of the Nile. Strings like a storm, Choir in the air— I’m the oath and the omen, I’m the answered prayer. I don’t need your throne, I don’t need your crown, I turn a whisper into law When the beat comes down. And if you came for my silence, Know it’s sharpened like a blade— I’m the river in the dark, I’m the debt you never paid. (Queen… Queen…) Touch the water— feel it hum. (Queen… Queen…) All my power, all at once. I’m the Queen of the Nile, I rise with the flood, Silk and stone, holy thunder in my blood. You can build your walls high— I’ll smile, I’ll glide, ’Cause I don’t break, I bloom on the tide. Crown in my gaze, and the night in my smile, Say it loud, say it proud— Queen of the Nile. Where the water remembers… I remain.
