Kubla Khan Lyrics

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 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')
