The Death of Leaders · 2025
Serpent of the Nile
(Verse 1) Veil of obsidian, gaze like flame Queen of a kingdom carved in pain Golden throne of bones and sand Bloodied by the gods' own hand Serpent whisper in her breath Kiss of power, kiss of death Scepter raised in moonless light A thousand legions feed her might (Pre-Chorus) Lust and war in sacred guise Empire burns behind her eyes (Chorus) Cleopatra! Reaper Queen! Scorched in love, bathed in screams Crown of chaos, fangs beneath A kiss, a blade, eternal grief Oh, Cleopatra — rise from the Nile Your reign, your curse, your wicked smile (Verse 2) Rome bows low, seduced and slain Caesar's blood stains her reign With Mark she danced in crimson tides Two hearts drowned in suicide Scrolls of doom in temple walls Venom drips as kingdoms fall Cursed with beauty, born of strife She traded empires for a life (Breakdown) Ashes to ashes — throne to tomb! The desert winds howl her doom Vultures circle, crowns decay But her shadow never fades away! (Chorus) Cleopatra! Serpent Queen! Chains of silk, soul unseen Wreathed in fire, forged by lies Still she rules beneath black skies (Outro) Hear the hiss — the asp draws near In her eyes: no love, no fear From death she drinks, her soul ascends The Nile flows red… her story never ends
