Cortez the killer





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.





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



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
