Eldorado Songtext
von Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

Gaily bedight
A gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow
Had journeyed long
Singing a song
In search of Eldorado

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o′er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado


And, as his strength
Failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride,"
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado
