Cortez The Killer – Neil YoungBy He came dancing across the waterWith his galleons and gunsLooking for the new worldIn that palace in the sunOn the shore lay MontezumaWith his coca leaves and pearlsIn his halls he often wanderedWith the secrets of the worldsAnd his subjectsGathered ’round himLike the leaves around a treeIn their clothes of many colorsFor the angry gods to seeAnd the women all were beautifulAnd the men stoodStraight and strongThey offered life in sacrificeSo that others could go onHate was just a legendAnd war was never knownThe people worked togetherAnd they lifted many stonesAnd they carried themTo the flatlandsBut they died along the wayAnd they built upWith their bare handsWhat we still can’t do todayAnd I know she’s living thereAnd she loves me to this dayI still can’t remember whenOr how I lost my wayHe came dancing across the waterCortez, CortezWhat a killer www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
