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 
 
/ Am D7 G G7 / / A Dm / G Am / A Dm / G Am /  
 
{Refrain} 
Though I hoped for something to find 
I could see no maze to unwind 
 
/ Am F7 / / 
 
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}
