Built To Spill lyrics : "Cortez The Killer"

He came dancing across the water with his stallions and guns

In his halls he often wondered the secrets of the world


Looking for the new world and the palace in the sun


In the clothes of many colors for the angry gods to see

On the shore lay montezuma with his coca leaves and pearls


And his subjects gathered round him like the leaves around a tree


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 know


People worked together and the lifted many stones.

And they carried them to the flatlands but they died along the way.


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


He came dancing across the water cortez cortez


What a killer
