Rush - Xanadu (A Farewell To Kings)
"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
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

| @gorillabelly1 His guitar playing is all over this thing from the first note...what are you talking about? This song contains probably his best solo he ever recorded. |

| You're all crazy! Rush during the 80's and especially the 90's were so brilliant there is literally no other band I can think of besides Pink Floyd that have stayed so good for so long. People often complain about there not being guitar solos and there being too many keyboards, but this is just the way I like it; very majestic and epic! And I love the idea of the music video being on a monopoly-like computer animated game board. I don't know about you guys, but this is as good as it gets. |
