Cult Cortez The Killer Lyrics

Cortez The Killer 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 



What a
killer. 







He came dancing ... 







...so that others could go on... 







He came
dancing across the water 



Cortez, Cortez 



What a
killer....
