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

And the nights grow longer, the father I go

Wake to aching cold, and a deep Sahara of snow

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

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

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
