They came 500 years ago
The spoke of old in mexico
Killed the people one by one
Only talking with their guns
Brave men locked on iron chains
All young mothers sold as slaves
Babies brying through their night
Will they ever see the light
Golden dreams of Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Golden dreams of Eldorado
May come true but only in your heart

Shout and your hands will be free
And we shall live in liberty
Oh will mankind ever learn
Shall they hold to iron burn
Golden dreams of Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Golden dreams of Eldorado
May come true but only in your heart
In the history of man
The search for happiness
has never ended
But if the gates of eden
were ever closed
for those conquistdors
who are only hungry for gold
for power and might
Because the real Eldorado
isn`t made of diamond or gold
it`s the immortal yearning for peace
love and understanding
in the hearts of everyone
Golden dreams of Eldorado
all have drowned in
seas of red and black
Golden dreams of Eldorado
May come true but
only in your heart
Golden dreams of Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Golden dreams of Eldorado
