He came dancing across the water
With galleons and his guns
Looking for the new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and his 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 coats of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
The men were tall and strong
He offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
War was just a legend
Hate was quite unknown
And the people worked together
And they lifted many stones
And they carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they raised up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today
With galleons and his guns
Looking for the new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and his 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 coats of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
The men were tall and strong
He offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
War was just a legend
Hate was quite unknown
And the people worked together
And they lifted many stones
And they carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they raised up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today
