Xanadu
Lyrics
To seek the sacred river Alph|To walk the caves of ice|To break my fast on honeydew|And drink the milk of Paradise...'||I had heard the whispered tales of immortality|The deepest mystery|From an ancient book I took a clue|I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown|Time and Man alone|Searching for the lost Xanadu||Xanadu...||To stand within the Pleasure Dome|Decreed by Kubla Khan|To taste anew the fruits of life|The last immortal man|To find the sacred river Alph|To walk the caves of ice|Oh, I will dine on honeydew|And drink the milk of Paradise||A thousand years have come and gone but time has passed me by|Stars stopped in the sky|Frozen in an everlasting view|Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night|Praying for the light|Prison of the lost|Xanadu||Xanadu...||Held within the Pleasure Dome|Decreed by Kubla Khan|To taste my bitter triumph|As a mad immortal man|Nevermore shall I return|Escape these caves of ice|For I have dined on honeydew|And drunk the milk of Paradise
