Xanadu

'To seek the sacred river Alph

    To walk the caves of ice

	 To break my fast on honey dew

	 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 honey dew

   And drink the milks 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 honey dew

   And drunk the milk of Paradise
