From the liner notes:
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...
Seven Cities of Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Searching through a grim eternity
Sculptured by a prehistoric sea
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the nights get longer, the farther I go
Wake to aching cold, and a deep Sahara of snow
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus 3]
That gleam in the distance could be heaven's gate
A long-awaited treasure at the end of my cruel fate
[Chorus]
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

Geddy Lee:
This is a real fiery kind of slow burn and we don’t do that too often. It’s got a nice slow sleasy burn feel to it, it’s got this kind of militaristic drum pattern while I’m playing a kind of seventies white funk bass riff against Alex [Lifeson], who’s pretending he’s Robin Trower! So it...
