Cortez The Killer Lyrics - Church

He came dancin' across the water 

With galleons and his guns 

Lookin' for the new world 

A palace in the sun 

On the shore lay Montezuma 

With his cocoa leaves and his 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 coats of many colors 

For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful 

The men were tall and strong 

He offered life in sacrifice 

So that others could go on 

War was just a legend 

Hate was quite unknown 

And the people worked together 

And they lifted many stones 

And they carried them to the flatlands 

And they died along the way 

And raised up with their bare hands 

What we still can't do today 

And I know she's living there 

She loves me to this day 

I still don't know where 

Or how I lost my way

He came dancin' across the water

What a killer 

What a killer
