Lyrics for Cortez The Killer by Neil Young:
| | | Artist: | Neil Young |
| | Album: | Decade | | Track: | Cortez The Killer | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 242 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 wandered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And
his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many
colours
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 can't do
today.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't
remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez,
Cortez
