While you were dreaming
They were scheming
To be kings of their time
While you were tending
They were fending
For all the fruit from the vine
While you were writing
They were hiding
Behind a cross and a shield
And the fields of the harvest
They plundered the garden
And everything else they could steal
Over and over and over again
El Dorado, Golden Silos
Is it over now
Your fingers bleeding
While they were feasting
Playing musical thrones
You were starving
They were carving the bird
And they threw you a bone
But today doesn't fall on a memory
Today falls like a star
And without warning,
The finest of mornings
You'll be found looking down from afar
Over and over and over again
El Dorado, Golden Silos
Is it over now
We built
El Dorado, Golden silos
Is it over now
El Dorado, Golden Halos
Is it over now
