    Conquistador your stallion stands 
    In need of company 
    And like some angel's haloed brow 
    You reek of purity 
    I see your armour-plated breast 
    Has long since lost it's 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 maze 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 it's fill 

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

    itsmee

    I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. I was in the car -- 1972

    I never understood it -- I thought it was powerful. Thank you.

    In the car Itsmee ? Driving it or back seat? LOL

    Yep I remember it.Quite a stirring tune,but don't ask me who sang it or any of the lyrics.

    Conquistador by Procol Harum

    when i was learning to read poetry, i'd look up almost everyword to see the meaning - or the double meanings. i'm printing this out and it's about time i figured out this puzzle of a song. again, varon, thank you.
