Cortez the Killer |
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 coca 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 colours |
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 do today. |
And I know she’s living there |
And she loves me to this day |
I still can’t remember when |
Or how I lost my way. |
He came dancing across the water |
Cortez, Cortez |
What a killer. |
He came dancing … |
…so that others could go on… |
He came dancing across the water |
Cortez, Cortez |
What a killer… |
