מילים לשיר Cortez The Killer – Neil Young

He came dancing across the water
Looking for the new world
With his galleons and guns 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
For the angry gods to see.
In their clothes of many colours
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
And they died along the way
They carried them to the flatlands
But they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today.
And she loves me to this day
And I know she's living there
Or how I lost my way. I still can't remember when
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer He came dancing across the water.
