Another Rush song: Xanadu
Quote: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;This has all the feel of a power song with absolutely nothing to indicate a power. It's just an awesome piece of music.
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 DomeDecreed 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-dewAnd 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.
