letra de seven cities of gold [clockwork angels tour] - rush

the legend had passed down for generations. far across the western sea, where the steamliners could not fly, lay a wilderness land hiding seven cities of gold. i dared the crossing on one of the stout ships that followed the trade route to poseidon, a tough port city. i worked there for a while on the steamliners that served the alchemy mines, then eventually set out into the redrock desert. the stones were sculpted into unearthly monuments, and the country grew cold as i traveled north in search of the most famous city of gold; cibola. its name had sounded in my dreams since childhood

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 grim eternity
sculptured by prehistoric sea

seven cities of gold
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

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
the nights grow longer, the father i go
wake to aching cold, and a deep sahara of snow

that gleam in the distance could be heaven’s gate
a long-awaited treasure at the end of my cruel fate
