Came dancing across the water
|
His galleons and guns
|
Looking for the new world
|
Palace in the sun
|
|
On the shore lay Montezuma
|
His coca leaves and pearls
|
In his halls he often wondered
|
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
|
They built up with their bare hands
|
What we still can't build today
|
|
And I know she's living there
|
She loves me to this day
|
And I can't still remember when
|
Or how I lost my way
|

Cortez, Cortez

He came dancing across the water
|
Cortez, Cortez
|
What a killer
|
Dancing across the water
|
Came dancing across the water
|
Cortez, Cortez
|
Dancing across the water (4x)
|
Cortez, Cortez
|
Dancing across the water (2x)
|
He came dancing across the water
