Cortez The Killer lyrics

he came dancing across the water with his stallions 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 wondered the secrets of the world
and his subjects gathered round him, like the leaves around a tree
in the 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
people worked together and they lifted many stones, and
they carried them to the flat lands, but they died along the way, and
they built up with their bare hands what we still cant do today, and
i know shes living there and she loves me to this day
i still cant remember when or how I lost my way.
he came dancing across the water cortez cortez
what a killer
