Lyrics

Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company And like some angel's hallowed brow you reek of purity I see your armour-plated breast has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face there are no signs which can be seen Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Conquistador, a vulture sits upon your silver shield And in your rusty scabbard now the sand has taken seed I know your jewel-encrusted blade has not been plundered still Sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill And though I hoped for, something to find I could see no maze to unwind 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 I know you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die Though I hoped for, something to find I could see no maze to unwind And though I hoped for, something to find I could see no maze to unwind And though I hoped for, something to find I could see no maze to unwind
