End Of Days[That very day; Cleopatra committed suicide. His children by Cleopatra were spared. The ancient sources, particularly the Roman ones, are in general agreement that Cleopatra killed herself by inducing an asp to bite her. The oldest source is Strabo, who was alive at the time of the event, and might even have been in Alexandria. He says that there are two stories: that she applied a toxic ointment, or that she was bitten by an asp. The site of their tomb or tombs is uncertain, but may lie near the temple of Taposiris Magna in Alexandria.] Now that everything is lost Everything I held dear All gone in the madness of this world Don’t let me fall apart Don't let me live a lie Kiss my lips and poison my heart Whisper your love and poison my soul Anubis be my guide tonight Let my thoughts run out of line So we can start this show tonight Drums pounding in the distance Heralding the end of days A whisper of a warning, They grow louder every day They bring the nightmare that’s at bay My final act My betrayal My ancestors in the past Have foreseen a future that would last So Fathers where are you now I’m just wondering why There are drums in the distance Heralding the end of days A whisper of a warning, They grow louder every day There will be no new dawn For me a child of (the) Gods Now the drums are beating faster “It’s coming now, It’s coming now” they warn There comes a time when you decide A time to make a sacrifice And pay the final price in blood So sacred and divine Is there glory in such an act? Endless death or eternal fame And as the final curtain falls I’m just wondering why There were drums in the distance Heralding the end of days A whisper of a warning, They grow louder every day There will be no new dawn For I was child of (the) Gods Father please come get me now And take me to a better place Yes there were drums in the distance Heralding the end of days Come and see my final act Of despair and of regret Won’t see a brand new dawn For I was child of (the) Gods All for this day, this twisted glory Still I’m wondering why There were drums in the distance Heralding the end of days A whisper of a warning, They grow louder every day There will be no new dawn For I was child of (the) Gods Father please come get me now And take me to a better place Yes there were drums in the distance Heralding the end of days Come and see my final act Of despair and of regret Won’t see a brand new dawn For I was child of (the) Gods All for this day, this twisted glory Still I’m wondering why Can’t hear it, can’t see it, can’t feel it, can’t hide it Don’t need this damnation When all I sought was salvation Can’t hear it, can’t see it, can’t feel it, can’t hide it Don’t need forgotten glory Still can’t help but wonder why Have the Gods forsaken, Have the Gods forsaken me? Have the Gods forgotten, Have the Gods forgotten me? In a life it’s hardest to know which bridges to burn and which ones to cross All these paths can surely make one scream when it all seems like a dream Somewhere out there there is truth and there are lies, all well hidden in disguise For what follows ends in my goodbye, still can’t help but wonder why |
