Cortez The Killer

He came dancing across the water with his galleons and guns, looking for the new world

in the palace in the sun.

On the shore lay Montezuma with his cocoa leaves and pearls.

In his halls he often wandered With the secrets of the world

And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree

In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see

All the women all were beautiful, the men stood straight and strong.

They offered life in sacrifice so that others could go on.

Hate was just a legend, war was never known.

All the people worked together, and they lifted many stones.

They carried them to the flatlands, and they died along the way.

And they built up with their bare hands, what we still can't do today.

I know she is living there, and she loves me to this day.

Still can't remember when or how I lost my way.

He came dancing 'cross the water.

Cortez, Cortez.

What a killer.
