Title: Conquistador

Artist: Procol Harum
Sequenced by: Michael D. MacDonald
July 2001

Michael D MacDonald
Music by Gary Brooker, Lyrics by Keith Reid
This is my second version of this song. The first was a gentle piano piece. This version is much
more akin to the original though this one is grittier, particularly the ad lib at the end.
Arranged and sequenced by Michael MacDonald

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 its 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
jewelencrusted blade
has not been plundered still
the sea has washed
across your face
and taken of its fill

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

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

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