Cortez the Killer (Live Rust Bucket) Lyrics
[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
Men stood straight and strong
They offerеd life in sacrifice
So others could go on
[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
Men stood straight and strong
They offerеd life in sacrifice
So others could go on
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Hatе was just a legend
War was never known
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, yeah
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 8]
He came dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
He came dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
[Verse 5]
Hatе was just a legend
War was never known
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, yeah
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 8]
He came dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
He came dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water, dancing
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
[Outro]
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water, dancing
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
