Dave Matthews Band - Cortez The Killer Lyrics

Came dancing across the water
His galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
Palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
His coca 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 build today

And I know she'e living there
She loves me to this day
And I still can't rememebr when
Or how I lost my way

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