cleopatra
Performed by Johnny Stranger
Written by Peter Anthony
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
The serpent bites her breast.
The poison rings down her neck.
And all the while, the Roman gods look on.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
The soldiers sheath their swords.
The harem’s grim and poised.
And all the while, the Roman gods look on.
I go down to the keep,
Where cruel Anubis sleeps.
And all the while, the Roman frauds look on.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
In defiance, I die.
A sovereign regicide.
And all the while my loyal gods look on.
They’re looking on.
Let the devil have his way.
He’s going to get it anyway.
