[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 a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
[Verse 4]
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
[Guitar Solo]
