Cortez, The Killer

Lyrics

He came dancing across the water  
With his galleons and guns  
Looking for the new world  
In that palace in the sun  
On the shore lay Montezuma  
With his cocoa leaves and pearls  
In his halls, he often wandered  
With the secrets of the worlds  
And his subjects gathered round him  
Like the leaves around a tree  
In their clothes of many colors  
For the angry gods to see  
And the women all were beautiful  
And the men stood straight and strong  
They offered life in sacrifice  
So that others could go on  
Hate was just a legend  
And war was never known  
The people worked together  
And they lifted many stones  
They carried them to the flatlands  
And they died along the way  
But they built up with their bare hands  
What we still can't build today  
And I know shes living there  
And she loves me to this day  
I still can't remember when  
Or how I lost my way  
Cortez, Cortez  
He came dancing across the water  
Cortez, Cortez  
What a killer
