He

came

dan-

ac-

the

wa-

With

his

gal-

le-

ons

and

guns

Loo-

king

for

the

new

world

And

that

pa-

lace

in

the

sun

On

the

shore

lay

Mon-

te-

zu-

ma

With

his

co-

ca

leaves

and

pearls

In

his

halls,

he

of-

ten

won-

dered

With

the

sec-

rets

of

the

world

And

his

sub-

jects

Ga-

thered

around

him

Like

the

leaves

a-

round

a

tree

In

their

clothes

of

ma-

ny

co-

lors

For

the

ang-

ry

gods

to

see

And

the

wo-

men

all

were

beau-

ti-

ful

And

the

men

stood

Straight

and

strong

They

of-

fered

life

in

sac-

ri-

fice

So

that

o-

thers

could

go

on

Hate

was

just

a

le-

gend

And

war

was

ne-

known

The

peop-

worked

to-

ge-

ther

And

they

lif-

ted

ma-

stones

And

they

car-

ried

them

To

the

flat-

lands

But

they

died

a-

long

the

way

And

they

built

up

With

their

bare

hands

What

we

still

can't

do

to-

day

And

I

know

she's

li-

ving

there

And

she

loves

me

to

this

day

I

still

can't

re-

mem-

ber

when

Or

how

I

lost

my

way
