Seven Cities of Gold (with Clockwork Angels String Ensemble) - Rush

A man can lose his past, in a country like this

Wandering aimless

Parched and nameless

A man could lose his way, in a country like this

Canyons and cactus

Endless and trackless

Searching through a grim eternity

Sculptured by a prehistoric sea

Seven cities of gold

With stones that fired my imagination

Seven cities of gold

A splendid mirage in this desolation

Seven cities of gold

Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations

Glitter in the sun like a revelation

Distant as a comet or a constellation

A man can lose himself, in a country like this

Rewrite the story

Recapture the glory

A man could lose his life, in a country like this

Sunblind and friendless

Frozen and endless

And the nights grow longer, the farther I go Wake to aching cold, and a deep Sahara of snow

Seven cities of gold

With stones that fired my imagination

Seven cities of gold

A splendid mirage in this desolation

Seven cities of gold

Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations

Glitter in the sun like a revelation

Distant as a comet or a constellation

Oh that gleam in the distance could be heaven’s gate

A long-awaited treasure at the end of my cruel fate

Seven cities of gold

With stones that fired my imagination

Seven cities of gold

A splendid mirage in this desolation

Seven cities of gold

Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations

Glitter in the sun like a revelation

Distant as a comet or a constellation
