Procol Harum — Conquistador

[Intro] [Verse 1] Conquistador your stallion stands In need of company And like some angel's haloed 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 [Chorus] Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze 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] Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind [Bridge] [Verse 3] 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 aureole And though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die [Chorus] Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind [Bridge] [Chorus] And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind [Coda]
