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 mountaintops 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
 Oh, 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
 Woah, is it paradise?
