[ar:Neil Young] |

He came dancing across the water |
| [03:27.55] |
With his galleons and guns |
| [03:29.60] |
Looking for the new world |
| [03:36.30] |
In that palace in the sun |
| [03:40.23] |
On the shore lay Montezuma |
| [03:44.51] |
With his coca leaves and pearls |
| [03:48.67] |
In his halls he often wondered |
| [03:53.06] |
With the secrets of the worlds. |
| [03:56.90] |
And his subjects gathered 'round him |
| [04:01.12] |
Like the leaves around a tree |
| [04:05.41] |
In their clothes of many colors |
| [04:08.68] |
For the angry gods to see. |
| [04:13.88] |
And the women all were beautiful |
| [04:18.07] |
And the men stood straight and strong |
| [04:22.57] |
They offered life in sacrifice |
| [04:26.60] |
So that others could go on. |
| [04:31.00] |
Hate was just a legend |
| [05:25.61] |
And war was never known |
| [05:29.55] |
The people worked together |
| [05:33.65] |
And they lifted many stones. |
| [05:35.53] |
They carried them to the flatlands |
| [05:42.01] |
And they died along the way |
| [05:46.27] |
But they built up with their bare hands |
| [05:50.46] |
What we still can't do today. |
| [05:52.83] |
And I know she's living there |
| [05:59.06] |
And she loves me to this day |
| [06:03.55] |
I still can't remember when |
| [06:05.89] |
Or how I lost my way.. |
| [06:10.46] |
He came dancing across the water |
| [06:50.86] |
Cortez,Cortez |
| [06:54.93] |
What a <-7>killer. |
