MONTEZUMA
THE GODS CAME TO YOU
AS HALF BEAST AND HALF MAN
BORNE ON THE WINDS OF FATE
THEY SET UPON YOUR LANDS

YOU SHOWERED THEM WITH GIFTS OF GOLD
TO TRY AN STAY THEIR HAND
YET THEY KEPT COMING EVER CLOSER
WITH MORE AND MORE DEMANDS
QUETZEQUATAL GREAT GOD ON HIGH SAVE US

MENTEZUMA
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
YOU SIMPLY COULDNT COMPHREHEND
THAT CORTEZ AND HIS BAND OF BRIGANDS
WERE NOTHING MORE THAN MEN

BOUND AND FROZEN BY CHAINS OF MYTH
YOU COULDNT TAKE A STAND
FORCED TO BOW AGAINST YOUR WILL
YOUR EMPIRE TURNED TO SAND
GREAT GOD THAT SHAKES THE EARTH SAVE US

CHORUS
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO YOU
THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL
SURELY THE SON OF HEAVEN
CERTAINLY TO FALL
ON THE ALTAR OF A NEW FAITH
THE HAND OF DESTINY
CALLING OUT WITH ALL OF ITS WEIGHT
THE WAY THAT IT SHALL BE

MONTEZUMA

MONTEZUMA
WE STILL SEE YOU
THROUGH THE EYE OF HISTORY
AS A GREAT MAN
IN A GREAT LAND
CAUGHT UP IN A TRAGEDY
FOUGHT BY MEN FOR WEALTH AND POWER
FROM LANDS ACROSS THE SEA
WHERE NOTHING IS SACRED
AND ALL IS EMPTY
WHERE GREED IS ALMIGHTY
GREAT GOD OF MOUNTAIN FIRE SAVE US

CHORUS
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO YOU
THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL
SURELY THE SON OF HEAVEN
CERTAINLY TO FALL
ON THE ALTAR OF A NEW FAITH
THE HAND OF DESTINY
CALLING OUT WITH ALL OF ITS WEIGHT
THE WAY THAT IT SHALL BE

MONTEZUMA MONTEZUMA.
 
dragonworks, I liked these lyrics and the way you outlined the atrocities of the conquerors of the New World. If the newcomers could not only have delivered the true Christian message but also have acted accordingly. . . .

I like song lyrics that make me think about historical perspective. Maybe I'll post one of my own, you motivator you :D.

BTW, I am trying to ascertain whether or not posting an uncopyrighted song in a forum is advisable. I did a search but got derailed midway through it. Any advice? If it's considered bad form to post a song that I haven't copyrighted, I'll stick to the copyrighted ones. Thanks.
