Conquistador

Conquistador, your stallion stands in need of company And like some angel's haloed brow you reek of purity I see your armor-plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen / / {Refrain} Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind / / / Conquistador, a vulture sits upon your silver sheath And in your rusty scabbard now the sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill {Refrain twice} Conquistador, there is no time, I must pay my respects And though I came to jeer at you, I leave now with regrets And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all And though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die {Refrain}
