Xanadu Lyrics

The song Xanadu is performed by Rush in the album named A Farewell to Kings in the year 1997 .

Send Xanadu Ringtone to your Cell



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 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 honeydew
And drink the milk of paradise, paradise

A thousand years have come and gone but time has pa*sed 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 it is paradise



Send Xanadu Ringtone to your Cell
