Cleopatra's Dream
Cleopatra's Dream: Allegory of Power and Decay
Lyrics
What we do
Reflecting on our actions
Is watch the beggars play
Observing the struggles of others
Pyramids of joy
Experiencing moments of happiness
And the
Encountering present-day criminals
Thieves of today
Encountering present-day criminals again
While I roam
Traveling from place to place
From town to town
Contemplating thoughts while moving through towns
Can't help to think
Remembering past experiences
When I
Recalling a time of authority
Used to own the crown
Financially supporting a conflict or personal struggle
Fund my war
Supporting a war effort
The queen of kings
Symbolizing a powerful and influential figure
Cleopatra's Dream
A representation of an ideal, majestic vision
See the beetle crawling out her mouth
Seeing something unexpected emerging from a revered figure
Altered mind when she's around
Experiencing a change in perception when in her presence
Worship your queen with a blind eye
Showing devotion to the queen despite potential flaws
Slowly fading into my dreams
Gradually losing oneself in thoughts or fantasies
See the beetle crawling out her mouth
Witnessing something unexpected from a revered figure (repeated)
Altered mind when she's around
Experiencing a change in perception when in her presence (repeated)
Fund my war
Financially supporting a conflict or personal struggle (repeated)
The queen of kings
Symbolizing a powerful and influential figure (repeated)
Cleopatra's Dream
A representation of an ideal, majestic vision (repeated)
See the beetle crawling out her mouth
Witnessing something unexpected from a revered figure (repeated)
Altered mind when she's around
Experiencing a change in perception when in her presence (repeated)
Worship your queen with a blind eye
Showing devotion to the queen despite potential flaws (repeated)
Slowly fading into my dreams
Gradually losing oneself in thoughts or fantasies (repeated)
