Cortez The Killer - Neil Young
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 wandered With the secrets of the worlds His subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry Gods to see The women all were beautiful Men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So others could go on Hate was just a legend 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 built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today And I know she's living there She loves me to this day I still can't remember where Or how I lost my way He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer Yeah dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer, killer He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer
