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 wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects gathered 'round him

Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
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.
