Kubla Khan
I wake up in this dream I had,
The kingdom of the dead
The ancient walls of Xanadu
I drank the milk of paradise,
I've walked through caves of ice
And I was fed on honey-dew
Oh beware, the maidens cry,
Beware! beware! open your eyes
Where Alph the sacred river ran,
Measureless to man
And Mount Abora calling me
The waning moon was haunting me
Shone on the endless sea
This savage place possessing me
Oh beware, the maidens cry,
Beware! beware! open up your eyes
The Palace of Kubla Khan,
A vicious, an unholy man
Towers of gold where legends are told
The madness unfolds...
(Inspired by S.T. Coleridge 'Kubla Khan: Or A Vision In A Dream')
The kingdom of the dead
The ancient walls of Xanadu
I drank the milk of paradise,
I've walked through caves of ice
And I was fed on honey-dew
Oh beware, the maidens cry,
Beware! beware! open your eyes
Where Alph the sacred river ran,
Measureless to man
And Mount Abora calling me
The waning moon was haunting me
Shone on the endless sea
This savage place possessing me
Oh beware, the maidens cry,
Beware! beware! open up your eyes
The Palace of Kubla Khan,
A vicious, an unholy man
Towers of gold where legends are told
The madness unfolds...
