Conquistador (Studio Verson)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind [Verse 2] Conquistador, a vulture sits Upon your silver shield 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 [Chorus] And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind [Verse 3] Conquistador, there is no time I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I lеave now with regret And as thе gloom begins to fall I see there is no aureole Though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die [Chorus] And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind Though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind, hey [Chorus/Outro] And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
