Xanadu
“To seek the sacred river AlphTo walk the caves of iceTo break my fast on honeydewAnd drink the milk of Paradise.”
I had heard the whispered tales of immortalityThe deepest mysteryFrom an ancient book I took a clueI scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknownTime and Man aloneSearching for the lost Xanadu
Xanadu
To stand within the Pleasure DomeDecreed by Kubla KhanTo taste anew the fruits of lifeThe last immortal manTo find the sacred river AlphTo walk the caves of iceOh, I will dine on honeydewAnd drink the milk of Paradise
A thousand years have come and gonebut time has passed me byStars stopped in the skyFrozen in an everlasting viewWaiting for the world to end, weary of the nightPraying for the lightPrison of the lostXanadu
Xanadu
Held within the Pleasure DomeDecreed by Kubla KhanTo taste my bitter triumphAs a mad immortal manNevermore shall I returnEscape these caves of iceFor I have dined on honeydewAnd drunk the milk of Paradise
