Cortez The Killer

1.Cortez The Killer (Neil Young) sözleri

Neil Young tarafından Decade albümünde söylenen Cortez The Killer adlı şarkının sözleri.

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With 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
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can’t do 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.

Now hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones

And they carried them across the flatland
But they died along the way

Built up with their bare hands

And I know she’s living there
And loves me to this day

Or how I lost my way
