and since I've started, I'll continue on the same path 😑

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Cortez the Killer ( live 1991 ) HD

He arrived dancing on the water
with his galleons and cannons
seeking a New World
and a (shining) palace in the sun

On the beach, Montezuma awaited him
with his coca leaves and pearls
in his great halls he often wandered
accompanied by the secrets of his world

And his subjects gathered around him
like leaves around a tree
dressed in their colorful garments
to be seen by their hot-tempered gods

And all the women were beautiful
and the men were proud and strong
offering their lives as sacrifice
so that others might go on

Hatred was just a legend
and war was unknown
the people worked all together
and together lifted many stones.

They carried them to the great plains
and died along the way
but they built with their bare hands
what even today we cannot achieve

And I know she lives down there
and that she still loves me today
yet I still can't remember when
or how I lost my way

He arrived dancing on the water
Cortez, Cortez
that murderer.
