#3. (Chords same as #1 and #2.)
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.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
