AdE - Ptolemy Has to Fall

Inside a basket lie the old lion's remains
He paid his debt with life
Caesar won't forget his name

To change the fate of a reign:
The head of Pompey for the peace
Disrespectful
Outrageous

Hands pour cups of wine toasting their fratricide
Poured for a war to begin under the eyes of the sphinx
Cleopatra returns from the exile
Pulling tight Isis and the wolf for the years to come

Mare rubrum an ashen glow:
Burnt pieces of a wonder flow

Reinforcing the sides
Setting the assault
The battle of the Nile

Cleopatra must rise
The queen revealed from her hide
Reinforcing the sides
Setting the assault for Rome

Stepping the swamp of the Nile
Caesar commands the final assault
Over a desert of fire, he leads the forces
Under his control ships on the skin of Nile flow in pieces

Mare rubrum an ashen glow:
Burnt pieces of a wonder flow

Reinforcing the sides
Setting the assault
The battle of the Nile

Cleopatra must rise
The queen revealed from her hide
Reinforcing the sides
Setting the assault for Rome

Soldiers prepared garrisons ready to die
To give back the reign to the legitimate owner
The queen will rise from a bed of corpses
That in the years will be part of the sand

A bowline in her womb
Pulling tight Isis and the wolf
