RUSH - Xanadu lyrics

rate me

To seek the sacred river alph<br>To walk the caves of ice<br>To break my fast on honey dew<br>And drink the milk of paradise....<br><br>I had heard the whispered tales<br>Of immortality<br>The deepest mystery<br>From an ancient book. I took a clue<br>I scaled the frozen mountain tops<br>Of eastern lands unknown<br>Time and man alone<br>Searching for the lost ---- xanadu<br><br>Xanadu ---- to stand within the pleasure dome<br>Decreed by kubla khan<br>To taste anew the fruits of life<br>The last immortal man<br>To find the sacred river alph<br>To walk the caves of ice<br>Oh, I will dine on honey dew<br>And drink the milk of paradise<br><br>A thousand years have come and gone<br>But time has passed me by<br>Stars stopped in the sky<br>Frozen in an everlasting view<br>Waiting for the world to end<br>Weary of the night<br>Praying for the light<br>Prison of the lost ---- xanadu<br><br>Xanadu ---- held within the pleasure dome<br>Decreed by kubla khan<br>To taste my bitter triumph<br>As a mad immortal man<br>Nevermore shall I return<br>Escape these caves of ice<br>For I have dined on honey dew<br>And drunk the milk of paradise<br>More than paradise
