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 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

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 l?ave now with regret
And as th? gloom begins to fall
I see there is no aureole
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
Though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind, hey

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
