(Em)
          
(Em)Conquistador your (A)stallion stands 
(D)In need of compa(D7)ny 
(Em)And like some angel's (A)haloed brow 
(D)You reek of puri(D7)ty 

I see your (E)armour-plated (Am)breast 
Has (D)long since lost it's (Em)sheen 
And (E)in your death mask (Am)face 
There are no (D)signs which can be (Em)seen 

And though I hoped for (C7)something to find 
I could (Em)see no (C7)maze to unwind 

(Em)Conquistador a (A)vulture sits 
(D)Upon your silver (D7)shield 
(Em)And in your rusty (A)scabbard now 
(D)The sand has taken (D7)seed 

And though your (E)jewel encrusted (Am)blade 
Has (D)not been plundered (Em)still 
The sea has (E)washed across your (Am)face 
And (D)taken of it's (Em)fill 

And though I hoped for (C7)something to find 
I could (Em)see no (C7)maze to unwind 

(Em)Conquistador there (A)is no time 
(D)I must pay my res(D7)pect 
(Em)And though I came to (A)jeer at you 
(D)I leave now with re(D7)gret 

And as the (E)gloom begins to (Am)fall 
I see there (D)is no, only (Em)all 
And though you (E)came with sword held (Am)high 
You did not (D)conquer, only (Em)die 

And though I hoped for (C7)something to find 
I could (Em)see no (C7)maze to unwind
 
And though I (Em)hoped for (C7)something to find 
I could (Em)see no (C7)maze to unwind 

And though I (Em)hoped for (C7)something to find 
I could (Em)see no (C7)maze to unwind
