Came dancing across the water
His galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
Palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
His c**a leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
The secrets of the worlds
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
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
They built up with their bare hands
What we still can't build today
And I know she's living there
She loves me to this day
And I can't still remember when
Or how I lost my way
Cortez, Cortez
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a k**er
Dancing across the water
Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water (4x)
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water (2x)
He came dancing across the water
