Indigo Girls - Cortez The Killer Lyrics

Font:

Align:

He came dancing across the water

With his galleons and guns

Looking for a new world

And a palace in the sun

And on the shore lay montezuma

With its coca leaves and pearls

In his halls he often wondered

With the secrets of the world

And the subjects gathered round him

Like the leaves around the trees

His coat of many colors

For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful

And the men stood straight and strong

He offered life with sacrifice

So that others might go on

Yeah

Now hate was just a legend

And war was never known

The people worked together

And they lifted many stones

And they carried them across the flatland

But they died along the way

(many lives were lost)

Built up with their bare hands

What we still cant do today

(many lives were lost)

And I know shes living there

And loves me to this day

I cant remember when

Or how I lost my way

Ah-oh

Ah-oh

Ah-oh

Ah-oh

He came dancing across the water

Cortez, cortez

What a killer
