Cortez, The Killer Lyrics

The song Cortez, The Killer is performed by Dave Matthews Band in the album named The Central Park Concert in the year 2003 .



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 woman all were beautiful
And the man 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
