Lyrics
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for a new world And a palace in the sun And on the shore lay montezuma With it's coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered With the secrets of the world And the subjects gathered round him Like the leaves around the trees His coat 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 with sacrifice So that others might go on Yeah Now hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones And they carried them across the flatland But they died along the way (many lives were lost) Built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today (many lives were lost) And I know she's living there And loves me to this day I can't remember when Or how I lost my way Ah-oh Ah-oh Ah-oh Ah-oh He came dancing across the water Cortez, cortez What a killer
