Well Barbara, I've requested the lyrics for this song several times,
as have others, since they don't seem to be on any of the ftp sites, but
no one seems to have them. So, a skeleton of what I've heard, and through
corrections and filling in of lines, maybe we'll finally get a definitive
answer. :)

Conquistador Procol Harum

Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company
And like some angel's halo proud
You reek of purity

I see your armor plated breast
Has lost its luster sheen
And in your reckless face
There are no signs which
Can be seen

And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind

Conquistador a vulture sits
Upon your silk _____________
And in your rusty scabbard now
You_______________________________

And though your jewel encrusted blade
Has not been tarnished there
She has washed across your face
And taken all that's fair

And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind
And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind

Conquistador there is no time
I must pay my respects
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regrets

And as the groove begins to fall
I see there is no only all
And though you came with soul held high
You did not conquer, only die

And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind
And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind

And though I hope for
Something to find
I can see no
Place to unwind
