Cortez the Killer

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for a new world and a place in the sun
And on the shore lay Montezuma
With it's coco leaves and pearls
In it's halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world
And his subjects gather 'round him
Like the leaves around the trees
Clothed in many colors for the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
He offered life and sacrifice so that others might go on
jam on * Em D Am * for a few times
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 flatlands
But they died along the way
Built up with their bare hands what we still can do today
And I know she's living there
And loves me to this day
Can't remember when or how I lost my way
jam on * Em D Am * for awhile...stop when it feels right
There was this man, he wasn't satisfied
He crossed all the oceans
to find something else with his greedy hands and his
raping heart and his mind that said war to take everything
He's looking down now
And I'm sorry for every time I raped you
And I'm sorry for every time I sold you
And I'm sorry for every time I bought you
And I'm sorry for every time I hurt you
And I'm sorry for every time
I'm sorry for every time
I'm sorry for every time
He came dancing across the waters
Cortez, Cortez
