Cortez The Killer Lyrics

He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world And [the] 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 [his] 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 [Now] hate was just a legend And war was never known People worked together And they lifted many stones They carried them to the flatlands [But] they died along the way [And] they built up with their bare hands What we still can't [do] today And I know she [is] living there And she loves me to this day I ... can't remember when Or how I lost my way He came dancing across the water Cortez Cortez What a killer
