Seven Cities of Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Searching through a grim eternity Sculptured by a prehistoric sea [Chorus] Seven Cities of Gold What stories 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] And the nights get longer, the farther I go Wake to aching cold and a deep Sahara of snow [Chorus] Seven Cities of Gold What stories 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 [Guitar solo] [Pre-Chorus 3] Oh, that gleam in the distance could be heaven's gate A long-awaited treasure at the end of my cruel fate [Chorus] Seven Cities of Gold What stories 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
