music: Bucci/Scazzocchio, lyrics: Bucci, inspired by the poem "Kubla Khan, a vision in a dream", written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1798    The golden shadow  Of the pleasure dome  Floated midway on the waves  Of the river Alph    "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan  A stately pleasure dome decree...  Where Alph, the sacred river, ran  Down to a sunless sea  So twice  Fice miles of fertile ground with towers and walls  were girdled round  And here were gardens bright  With sinuous... rills    And here were forests, forests as  ancient as the hills  Enfolding sunny, spots of greenery"    A mystic reign on the Asian coast was located  A miracle of rare device...  A sunny pleasure-dome was built  Over the winding enchanting icy caves  The silence ruled  among the sacred lands  Of Xanadu    From a raging dance of rocks,  since the dawn of Time  It flings up the holy turbid stream  In this ageless tumult, Kubla Khan heard from  Far Ancestral voices prophesying... war!    A savage place!    ...a vision in a dream!    And beyond wood and dale there was  An endless abyss where the river  Would sank in turmoil to a lifeless ocean  Alight by the shine of  A feeble waning moon  Lost in the sky    ...and still some whispers in the midnight breeze  remind us again the beauty of Xanadu!
