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't build today And I know she's living there She loves me to this day And I can't still remember 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
