At the same time that Arthur and his men leave on a ship bound for the New World, Cortez has already conquered much of The Valley of Oaxaca. The two dream of each other, though they know not who the other is. The two men await their meeting.

lyrics

Each steamy morning I wake up, put on my suit of armor
Its something that I don't regret, you know I must be bothered.
You see inside I like to call myself Cortez the Cuddler
And when I lay down every night she calls Cortez The Cuddler

Now maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm right
when I chop it down (chop it down)
History only remembers my plight
and that's alright, cuz I tore it down (tore it down)
Smeltin' my gold into your mold
and takin' it slow into the fold
Look at me now

And when I look out every day upon the lands I conquered
To think about how I was dancing all across the water
I never cared much about how I might be remembered
I only hope Dona Marina calls Cortez The Cuddler

Cortez The Cuddler
Cortez The Cuddler
Cortez The Cuddler
Cortez The Cuddler
