El Dorado

[Intro]
Nur-D and MC Lars!

[Verse 1, MC Lars]
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
Uh, in the middle of the night
They massacred the Wiyot with clubs and knives
And hatches and guns the militia attacked
Asking the government to give them a pass
On Tuluwat, they were stabbed and shot
Kids and grandmas in a genocidal plot
On an island in middle of the Humboldt Bay
One hundred dead that day

[Chorus, Nur-D]
Everything that glitters can't be gold, I know
I can not quit this hunger, so
I'm not going to fight it, I'm trying to find it
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
You can find me in the City of Gold

[Verse 2, MC Lars]
And as his strength failed him at length, he met a pilgrim Shadow
"Shadow," said he, "Where can it be, this land called Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride," the Shade replied "If you seek for Eldorado."
Back in Hydesville the miners claimed
That Manifest Destiny had made it all okay
A systematic murder of the Hoopa and Modoc
Karuk, and Shasta and no they would not stop
From Bear River to Berry Summit
The Wiyot Natives saw their numbers plummet
Children butchered, terrified and afraid
Some drowned in the bay as they tried to escape

[Chorus, Nur-D]
Everything that glitters can't be gold, I know
I can not quit this hunger, so
I'm not going to fight it, I'm trying to find it
El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado
You can find me in the City of Gold

[Outro, MC Lars]
"Over the Mountains of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride," the Shade replied "If you seek for Eldorado."
