| Neil Young – Cortez The Killer Lyrics | 6 years ago |

@[eremitic3:30059] Just an amazing song. As was the Aztec civilization. He must have read up on it. And then came up with a very far out interpretation of what happened between Montezuma and Cortez. Cortez was a killer. He came in and leveled the city of tenochititlan. And that city was very large, beautifully built, captial of the Aztecs. They fought but didn't beleive in killing their prisoners. They used them for sacrifice "so that others could go on." It was also so that the sun would exist and they got plenty of rain for crops. Cortez came along, stole their gold and destroyed the capitol. He was a killer. Musically, is very cool how it starts with a solo that begins mellow and builds. Its an incredible song. What's far out to me is that its Neil Young's version of the Aztec civilization and Cortez's destruction of it. |
