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')
