Cult - Cortez The Killer lyrics

rate me

He came dancing across the water<br />

<br />

With his galleons and guns<br />

<br />

Looking for the new world<br />

<br />

In that palace in the sun<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

On the shore lay Montezuma<br />

<br />

With his coca leaves and pearls<br />

<br />

In his halls he often wandered<br />

<br />

With the secrets of the worlds.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

And his subjects gathered 'round him<br />

<br />

Like the leaves around a tree<br />

<br />

In their clothes of many colours<br />

<br />

For the angry gods to see.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

And the women all were beautiful<br />

<br />

And the men stood straight and strong<br />

<br />

They offered life in sacrifice<br />

<br />

So that others could go on.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Hate was just a legend<br />

<br />

And war was never known<br />

<br />

The people worked together<br />

<br />

And they lifted many stones<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

They carried them to the flatlands<br />

<br />

And they died along the way<br />

<br />

But they built up with their bare hands<br />

<br />

What we still can't do today.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

And I know she's living there<br />

<br />

And she loves me to this day<br />

<br />

I still can't remember when<br />

<br />

Or how I lost my way.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

He came dancing across the water<br />

<br />

Cortez, Cortez<br />

<br />

What a killer.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

He came dancing ...<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

...so that others could go on...<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

He came dancing across the water <br />

<br />

Cortez, Cortez<br />

<br />

What a killer....
