Z'ha'dum

Copyright notice: All names used in this parody do not belong to me, but to PTEN and Babylonian Producions. J. Michael Straczynski not only created the characters, but also wrote the scripts from which I borrowed ideas. The song Xanadu, upon which this parody is based, was originally written by Rush in 1977. I hope this covers everything.

    "If you go to Z'ha'dum 
     You will die," he said.
     I heard that warning yet again
     When we were with the Centauri

I had heard the whispered tales
Of foreboding doom
For me at Z'ha'dum
From Delenn and Kosh, I took a clue
I took a trip with my dead wife
To eastern worlds unknown
She and I alone
Cruising to the lost--Z'ha'dum
Zaaa...haaa.duuumm

     To stand within the Shadows' Lair
     Decreed by Anna's friends
     To listen to their point of view
     The One That Will Be
     To find the sacred halls of Truth
     To walk with open eyes
     Oh, I know it's probably a trap
     But I have come prepared for that

A thousand years have come and gone
But they try the same tricks
Force me to be quick
But I smile, for I know they are doomed
Waiting for the world to end
Weary of the night
Praying for the light
Dying on the lost--Z'ha'dum
Zaaa...haaa...duuumm

     I stand upon the balcony
     Awaiting the White Star
     I taste my costly triumph
     Against the evil Shadows
     Nevermore shall I return
     Escape this world of lies
     For I know that my wife is dead
     But she awaits in Paradise
     Jump!  Jump now!
