5   -6  7  -7 -6  -6   -8   7  -7 -6  
Con-quis-ta-dor-- your stallion stands
-4  6   -7 -6 6 -7
In need of company
 5   -6   7   -7 -6 -6   -8 7  -7 -6 
And like some an---gels haloed brow-
-4   6   -7 -6 6 -7
You reek of purity-
-7  7   -8   8  7   -8  8   -9
I- see your armour-plated breast
-8   -8   -7    7   -8    8
Has long since lost its sheen
 8  8   7     -8   8    -9
And in your death mask face
 -8   -8  -8 -8 -7   8    8  8   8
There are no signs which can be seen

 8    -8   7   8    8
And though I hoped for 
 8'  -8   8' -8 7  
something to find
-8  7   8  8
I- can see no 
 8'  -8  8' -8 7
maze to unwind--

 5   -6  7  -7 -6 -6  -8  7  -7 -6
Con-quis-ta-dor-- a- vulture sits-
-4 6  -7  -6  6    -7
Upon your silver shield
 5  -6  7   -7 -6 -6  -8   7  -7 -6
And in your rus---ty scabbard now--
-4   6   -7  -6  6  -7
The sand has taken seed
-7     7    -8    8    7 -8  8   -9
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
-8  -8   -7    7  -8     8
Has not been plundered still
 8   8   7    -8    8 -9
The sea has washed across 
 -8   -8  -8  -8 -7 8   8   8
your face and taken of its fill

 8    -8   7   8    8
And though I hoped for 
 8'  -8   8' -8 7  
something to find
-8  7   8  8
I- can see no 
 8'  -8  8' -8 7
maze to unwind--

 5   -6  7  -7 -6  -6   -8 7  -7 -6
Con-quis-ta-dor-- there is no time-
-4  6   -7  -6  6  -7
I- must pay my respect
 5    -6   7 -7 -6 -6  -8  7  -7 -6
And though I came- to jeer at you--
-4   6   -7   -6   6 -7
I- leave now with regret
-7  7  -8    8    7 -8  8   -9
And as the gloom begins to fall
-8 -8   -8   -8 -7  7 -8  8
I- see there is no, only all
   8    8   8    7    -8    8    -9
Though you came with sword held high
-8  -8  -8   -8 -7   8  8  8
You did not conquer, only die

 8    -8   7   8    8
And though I hoped for 
 8'  -8   8' -8 7  
something to find
-8  7   8  8
I- can see no 
 8'  -8  8' -8 7
maze to unwind--
