Harum Procol Conquistador Lyrics

Conquistador Lyrics

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
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place
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
And though I hoped for something to find
I
could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my
respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And
as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
Though you came
with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for
something to find
I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for
something to find
I could see no place to unwind
