Álbum: A Farewell to Kings ( 1977)

"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 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 honey dew 

And drunk the milk of Paradise
