Cortez the Killer (Live 1991)
Lyricist:Neil Young
He came dancin' 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
And 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com War was never known 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 how Or where I lost my way
He came dancin' across the water Cortez, Cortez, what a killer Yeah, dancin' across the water Cortez, Cortez, what a killer, killer
Yeah, dancin' across the water Cortez, Cortez, what a killer
