El Dorado (III) Demolished Lives
MARILLION · F E A R 2016 · Track 10 of 17
I see myself in them The people at the borders Waiting to exist again Brothers, sisters, sons and daughters Denied our so-called golden streets Running from demolished lives Into walls

The gold stops us The gold always did The gold took more lives than Uranium Than Polonium. Pandemonium
