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.
And his subjects
Gathered 'round him
Like the leaves
around a 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
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The
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
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What
a killer.
