Rush - Seven Cities of Gold lyrics

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
