Page 16: Conquest in the Americas Chapter 15 Section 1

Cortez the KillerHe came dancing across the waterWith his galleons and gunsLooking for the new worldIn that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay MontezumaWith his coca leaves and pearlsIn his halls he often wonderedWith the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjectsGathered 'round himLike the leaves around a treeIn their clothes of many colorsFor the angry gods to see.

And the women all were beautifulAnd the men stoodStraight and strongThey offered life in sacrificeSo that others could go on.

Hate was just a legendAnd war was never knownThe people worked togetherAnd they lifted many stones.

They carried themTo the flatlandsAnd they died along the wayBut they built upWith their bare handsWhat we still can't do today.

And I know she's living thereAnd she loves me to this dayI still can't remember whenOr how I lost my way.

He came dancing across the waterCortez, CortezWhat a killer.
