about

A glance into Moctezuma II’s heart as he learns the conquistadors are heading to Tenochtitlan.

lyrics

And so, he was told
By men of his own
Their God would return
And the city would burn

And he was afraid
His kingdom would fade
For no one will save
A man from his fate

Across from the sea
In a murdering spree
To make him believe,
Get down on his knees

And so, late at night
He’d dream of the fight.
The murdering rite
For the God of the White.

He wondered, in pain
Though it was in vain,
If people were slain,
Would he still remain?

He thought of the past
His kingdom so vast
Would vanish so fast.
The shadow was cast…

And who would he blame
For all of his shame
Of being so tame
Like others would claim

As he stood in fear
He felt death was near
He heard loud and clear:
“The Spaniards are here”.

Moctezuma you must pray
Down in history you will stay
All your race soon will face
Moctezuma’s death
