about

King Arthur and his men travel south to Argentina, as the vision bids them. In Argentina, Arthur meets Kublai Khan, who has ruled South America for many years. Kublai Khan takes his guests to the 7 cities, cities of gemstones and precious metals. Kublai Khan instructs Arthur on how to navigate the cities. Arthur and his men stay for a fortnight, then leave for the Southern tip of South America. There, they meet an evil tribe that steals their provisions, abandoning them on the Dunes of iDeath.

lyrics

(ooh ooh you)

Step on Through
Consecrate this bright view
The pleasure dome welcomes you
Now you know what to do
I show you where to go
So you know
You know
You know you know you know you know
So let's go

(ooh ooh you)

And let us now
Convene in nests so sound
Revealing blessed bounds
Memory speak your sounds
The pleasure dome weeps its load
And it knows
Yeah it knows
It knows it knows it knows it knows
It knows you
