lyrics

I remember when our kingdom walls held strong
Higher than life itself and alive for the love we strung along
But like any love walls stretched too thin to hold, ours came crumbling down to the sea
When I let your trust hands go

I watched your ship set sail and fly
I can't find the words to say I've failed, my friend
But you say this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra

I walked down the shores of every memory
I watched as the sun dropped and fell to my knees, let the waters cover me
I placed in the bloody sand three daggers deep
One for a stranger, one for my love
And one more for the sea

I watched your ship set sail and fly
I can't find the words to say I've failed, my friend
But I know this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra

You and I were a thousand dying stars turned to dust by time
We both know this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra
