A rocket so bright,
In sunshine and in shadow
Had journeyed long,
The crew in song,
In search of Eldorado.
But Humanity grows old--
They are so bold--
And o'er their hearts a shadow
Fell as they found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as their strength
Failed them at length,
They met a pilgrim shadow--
"Shadow," said the,
"Where can it be--
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
Capcom replied--
"To Mars, for Eldorado?"
