Cortez The Killer Lyrics

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 wondered 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/cortez-the-killer-lyrics-neil-young.html ]
They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But 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 how Or where 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
