El Dorado - The Lyrics
Gotta tell you a story, on a cold winter's night
You'll be sailing for glory before you know what is right
So come over here now, I've got a vision for you
It's my personal snake oil, it's just something I do
I'm the jester with no tears and I'm playing on your fears
I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death
The eternal lie I've told about the pyramids of gold
I've got you hooked at every turn - Your body's left to burn!
You'll be wanting a contract, ah! You'll be waiting a while
I'd like to give you my contact, but that isn't my style
Well, you only get one chance and it's too good to miss
If I didn't lie to ya then I wouldn't exist
Greed, lust and envied pride - It's the same old same old way
The smoke and mirror's visions that you see are just like me
I'm a clever banker's face with just a letter out of place
I know someone just like you know someone just like me
El Dorado - Come and play
El Dorado - Step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado - Streets of gold
See my ship - it's oversold
You've got one last chance to try
So gone is the glory and gone is the gold
Well, if you need a story how come it has to be told?
Well, you can say I'm a Devil and I wouldn't say no
But out here on the dark side...Hey! On with the show!
So now my tale is told, big and bad and twice as bold
Their ship of fools is sinking as their cracks begin to grow
There is no easy way for an honest man today
Which is something you should think of as my life boat sails away
El Dorado - Come and play
El Dorado - Step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado - Streets of gold
See my ship - it's oversold
You've got one last chance to try
El Dorado - Come and play
El Dorado's left this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado - Streets of gold
See my ship - it's oversold
You've got one last chance to try
Από το press release:
- Το "The Final Frontier" θα κυκλοφορήσει τη Δευτέρα, 16 Αυγούστου 2010.
- Το artwork του album ανέλαβε ο γνωστός μας Melvyn Grant. (Ο ίδιος έχει σχεδιάσει τα εξώφυλλα των album "Fear Of The Dark", "Virtual XI", "Death On The Road" καθώς και το single "The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg".
- Η ηχογράφηση έγινε στα Compass Point Studios, στο Νασσάου των Μπαχαμών, εκεί όπου οι Iron Maiden στα 80's ηχογράφησαν τα "Piece Of Mind" (1983), "Powerslave" (1984) και "Somewhere In Time" (1986). Ο Bruce ανέφερε πως τα πάντα ήταν ολόιδια μες στο στούντιο όπως το 1983, ότι ήταν χαλαροί γιατί έπαιζαν σε οικείο περιβάλλον και πως αυτό "πέρασε" στο παίξιμο και την ατμόσφαιρα του δίσκου.
- Αύριο, 9 Ιουνίου, ξεκινά η νέα παγκόσμια περιοδεία "The Final Frontier World Tour", με 25 συναυλίες σε Βόρεια Αμερική και ένα πέρασμα από Ευρώπη απ΄ τις 30 Ιουλίου και μετά.
