neil young - cortez the killer (live) lyrics

Loading...

[intro: guitar solo]

[verse 1]
he came dancing across the water
with his galleons and guns
looking for the new world
and that palace in the sun

[verse 2]
on the shore lay montezuma
with his coca leaves and pearls
in his halls, he often wandered
with the secrets of the world
[verse 3]
and his subjects gathered ’round him
like the leaves around the tree
in their clothes of many colors
for the angry gods to see

[verse 4]
the women all were beautiful
the men stood straight and strong
he offered life in sacrifice
so others could go on

[guitar solo]

[verse 5]
hate was just a legend
war was never known
the people worked together
and they lifted many stones

[verse 6]
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 do today
[verse 7]
and i know she’s living there
she loves me to this day
i still can’t remember how
or where i lost my way

[guitar solo]

[outro]
he came dancin’ across the water
cortez, cortez
what a k!ller
dancin’ across the water
cortez, cortez
what a k!ller
k!ller
[guitar solo]
dancin’ across the water
cortez, cortez
what a k!ller
