Conquistador

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 jewel-encrusted 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

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

educational type discsussions that I have ever seen on YT....

And yes, the comments are different than what you usually see on youtube. Similar to the Alamo song I posted last weekend.

Thanks for posting, Tuesday. I can listen to music till the wee hours of the morning. Love it when songs are posted. Where is Swede tonight?

:hug:

But the title reminds me of one of the funniest crank calls of all time, marred only by the stupid giggling of Bob and Tom.

:D

Procul Harum and the ESO did not have a chance to rehearse the song together before the concert? That it turned out the song that it did astounds me.

I love the song - esp the music, the melding of rock and symphony. It's a musical moment that I would have loved to have attended.
