Neil Young - Cortez The Killer Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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 cant do today.

And I know shes living there

And she loves me to this day

I still cant remember when

Or how I lost my way.

He came dancing across the water

Cortez, cortez

What a killer.
