[00:00.00]Cortez The Killer
[01:30.00]
[03:22.99]He came dancing across the water
[03:27.07]With his galleons and guns
[03:32.25]Looking for the new world
[03:35.67]In that palace in the sun.
[03:39.87]On the shore lay Montezuma
[03:43.86]With his coca leaves and pearls
[03:48.45]In his halls he often wondered
[03:52.71]With the secrets of the worlds.
[03:56.73]And his subjects gathered 'round him
[04:00.56]Like the leaves around a tree
[04:05.01]In their clothes of many colors
[04:09.23]For the angry gods to see.
[04:13.46]And the women all were beautiful
[04:17.77]And the men stood straight and strong
[04:22.79]They offered life in sacrifice
[04:26.21]So that others could go on.
[05:20.59]Hate was just a legend
[05:25.08]And war was never known
[05:29.93]The people worked together
[05:33.19]And they lifted many stones.
[05:37.53]They carried them to the flatlands
[05:41.54]And they died along the way
[05:45.66]But they built up with their bare hands
[05:49.71]What we still can't do today.
[05:54.02]And I know she's living there
[05:58.10]And she loves me to this day
[06:03.10]I still can't remember when
[06:07.34]Or how I lost my way.
[06:44.45]He came dancing across the water
[06:49.45]Cortez, Cortez
[06:54.08]What a killer.
