Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company 
 
Gm C7 
And like some angel‘s haloed brow 
F F7/Eb 
You reek of purity 
G Cm 
I see your armor plated breast 
F Gm 
Has long since lost its sheen 
G Cm 
And in your death mask face 
F Gm 
There are no signs which can be seen 
 
Chorus: 
 
Gm Eb7 
And though I hoped for something to find 
Gm Eb7 Gm 
I could see no place to unwind 
 
Verse 2: 
 
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 
 
[repeat chorus] 
 
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, only all 
Though you came with sword held high 
You did not conquer, only die 
 
[repeat chorus, 2X] 
 
organ solo: 
 
Gm Eb7 [4X]
