Author/Artist/Singer: Dave Matthews Band
Music Title/Track: Cortez the Killer
Theme ID: 7022
Album: N/A


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 cocoa 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 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
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can?t build 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

Cortez, Cortez
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
