[03:21.08]He came dancing across the water
[03:26.02]With his galleons and guns
[03:31.03]Looking for the new world
[03:35.00]And a palace in the sun.
[03:38.09]On the shore lay Montezuma
[03:43.02]With his coca leaves and pearls
[03:47.06]In his halls he often wandered
[03:51.04]With the secrets of the world.
[03:55.09]And his subjects gathered 'round him
[04:00.01]Like the leaves around a tree
[04:03.08]In their clothes of many colors
[04:07.05]For the angry gods to see.
[04:12.08]And the women all were beautiful
[04:16.08]And the men stood straight and strong
[04:20.09]They offered life in sacrifice
[04:25.05]So that others could go on.
[04:30.09]
[05:19.07]Hate was just a legend
[05:23.07]And war was never known
[05:27.08]The people worked together
[05:31.09]And they lifted many stones.
[05:36.04]And they carried them to the flatlands
[05:40.08]But they died along the way
[05:44.06]And they built up with their bare hands
[05:49.04]What we still can't do today.
[05:53.03]And I know she's living there
[05:57.04]And she loves me to this day
[06:02.04]I still can't remember when
[06:05.03]Or how I lost my way.
[06:10.09]
[06:42.01]He came dancing across the water
[06:48.07]Cortez, Cortez
[06:53.00]What a killer.
