Lyrics:

conquistador By Procol Harum

lyrics By Keith Reid

conquistador, Your Stallion Stands
in Need Of Company
and Like Some Angels Haloed Brow
you Reek Of Purity
i See Your Armor-Plated Breast
has Long-Since Lost Its Sheen
and In Your Death-Masked Face
there Are No Signs Which Can Be Seen
and Though I Hope For Something To Find
i Can 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 Hope For Something To Find
i Can See No Place To Unwind

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, Only All
and Though You Came With Sword Held High
you Did Not Conquer, Only Die
and Though I Hope For Something To Find
i Can See No Place To Unwind
though I Hope For, Something To Find
i Can See No Place To Unwind
