| He came dancing across the water | |
| With his galleons and guns | |
| Looking for the new world | |
| And that palace in the sun. | |
| On the shore lay Montezuma | |
| With his coca leaves and pearls | |
| In his halls he often wandered | |
| With the secrets of the worlds. | |
| 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 women all were beautiful | |
| And the men stood straight and strong | |
| They offered life in sacrifice | |
| So that others could go on. |
