He had an aura intense n bold a flame in a temple made of stone Attraction invincible a tru miracle but devils flaws kept him from where legends go hears rumors of a land of dreams n gold most shrug him off as goofy joke others say he will never make it home its not a place hes worthy of a land for those on the throne rolled in the dirt but u learned that low Is where broken grow Not an easy road not a softer way But the kind u walk when the crown feels close If u want it all then u pay that toll Past paradise into El Dorado Gold dont glow for the weak of heart Maps get burned when the storms get started Some men chase it n fall apart Most never come back from where hope departed El Dorado Fate of kings saints reckless n bold Guarded by fear n shadows untold Evrybody wants the gold nobody wants the road Secret City of dreams n ghosts Where lost find what they want the most Not treasure or yellow brick road Its a golden death if u sell ur soul Riches masked in a hidden land Only found by the ones who can Take that fate that defeated many men brave n unyieldin n stand again Called the righteous n those that sin a game they can never win Cost is heavy when the debts close Those who fail never try again Heroes knights princes n poets Lathered in death with no treasure to show it Armor once shinin now shattered n folded Names in the dust now the silence owns it Maybe it never needed a king for the battle Maybe it needed the one in the shadow The one humbled n unraveled who kept crawlin when dreams went hollow out there alone on the road searchin for his soul Gold dont glow for the proud alone Crowns get crushed on the broken road Maybe heavens carved from stone Maybe scars show us the way home El Dorado Fate of kings saints reckless n bold Guarded by fear n shadows untold Evrybody wants the gold But nobody wants the road Secret City of dreams n ghosts Where lost find what they want the most Not a treasure chest or yellow brick road Its a golden death if u sell ur soul El Dorado is myth they say Riches are fable n beauty fades Golden glory that none could claim Unconquered after endless graves Maybe she waits for the man who fell from grace heaven to hell Dirtied ego n face scarred but with a halo still in place Bleedin but breathin n climbin back throne he dont need the applause n claps He just needs the truth beneath it all He dont chase the shine he survives the cost resident of the the land of the lost Finds himself a new shiny home but knows the real treasure all along was the road El Dorado Fate of kings saints reckless n bold Guarded by fear n shadows untold Evrybody wants the gold But nobody wants the road Secret City of dreams n ghosts Where lost find what they want the most Not a treasure chest or yellow brick road Its a golden death if u sell ur soul The sound in the night is the Call of the damned n the chosen both Where the broken man becomes the gold Long lost light on a haunted road He found his soul in El Dorado ride boldy ride TGB LIFE
