VERSE

He came dancing across the water with his galleons and guns

looking for the new world and the palace in the sun

the shore lay

Montezuma with its coca leaves and pearls

and his halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world

and his subjects gathered round him

like the leaves around the 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

He offered life and sacrifice

so that others could go on.

VERSE

Hate was just a legend and war was never known.

People worked together and they lifted many stones

and they carried

them to the flatlands

but they died along the way.

And they build up with their bare hands

What we still can't do today

CHORUS

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

OUTRO

He came dancing across the water,

Cortez Cortez

What a killer.
