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 lostEverything I held dearAll gone in the madness of this worldDon't let me fall apartDon't let me live a lieKiss my lips and poison my heartWhisper your love and poison my soulAnubis be my guide tonightLet my thoughts run out of lineSo we can start this show tonightDrums pounding in the distanceHeralding the end of daysA whisper of a warning,They grow louder every dayThey bring the nightmare that's at bayMy final actMy betrayalMy ancestors in the pastHave foreseen a future that would lastSo Fathers where are you nowI'm just wondering whyThere are drums in the distanceHeralding the end of daysA whisper of a warning,They grow louder every dayThere will be no new dawnFor me a child of (the) GodsNow the drums are beating faster'It's coming now, It's coming now” they warnThere comes a time when you decideA time to make a sacrificeAnd pay the final price in bloodSo sacred and divineIs there glory in such an act?Endless death or eternal fameAnd as the final curtain fallsI'm just wondering whyThere were drums in the distanceHeralding the end of daysA whisper of a warning,They grow louder every dayThere will be no new dawnFor I was child of (the) GodsFather please come get me nowAnd take me to a better placeYes there were drums in the distanceHeralding the end of daysCome and see my final actOf despair and of regretWon't see a brand new dawnFor I was child of (the) GodsAll for this day, this twisted gloryStill I'm wondering whyThere were drums in the distanceHeralding the end of daysA whisper of a warning,They grow louder every dayThere will be no new dawnFor I was child of (the) GodsFather please come get me nowAnd take me to a better placeYes there were drums in the distanceHeralding the end of daysCome and see my final actOf despair and of regretWon't see a brand new dawnFor I was child of (the) GodsAll for this day, this twisted gloryStill I'm wondering whyCan't hear it, can't see it, can't feel it, can't hide itDon't need this damnationWhen all I sought was salvationCan't hear it, can't see it, can't feel it, can't hide itDon't need forgotten gloryStill can't help but wonder whyHave 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 crossAll these paths can surely make one scream when it all seems like a dreamSomewhere out there there is truth and there are lies, all well hidden in disguiseFor what follows ends in my goodbye, still can't help but wonder why
