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… |
