	Though you came with sword held high
	You did not conquer, only die

* guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse

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]
