|
He came dancing across the water |
|
With galleons and his guns |
|
Looking for the new world |
|
A palace in the sun |
|
On the shore lay Montezuma |
|
With his cocoa leaves and his pearls |
|
In his halls he often wondered |
|
With the secrets of the worlds |
|
And his subjects gathered 'round him |
|
Like the leaves around a tree |
|
In their coats of many colors |
|
For the angry gods to see |
|
And the women all were beautiful |
|
The men were tall and strong |
|
He offered life in sacrifice |
|
So that others could go on |
|
War was just a legend |
|
Hate was quite unknown |
|
And the people worked together |
|
And they lifted many stones |
|
And they carried them to the flatlands |
|
And they died along the way |
|
But they raised up with their bare hands |
|
What we still can't do today |
|
And I know she's living there |
|
She loves me to this day |
|
I still don't know where |
|
Or how I lost my way |
|
He came dancing across the water |
|
Cortez, Cortez |
|
What a killer |
|
What a killer |
