lyrics

[rebel leader:]
i was called by st sebastian
to keep the village free from harm
in flowing robes glowing halo
he took me gently by the arm

he spoke in whispers loud as earthquakes
and told me tales of men of war
of one in leather, dark and brooding
a man they called conquistador

and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free

i saw three ships on the horizon
sailing faster than the wind
i told my men to keep their guard and
be prepared for us to win

st sebastian, i will honor
all the secrets kept herein
for when their ships hit the seashore
we will tear them limb from limb!

and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free

and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free

[conquistador:]
mark this day the scourge was blown away
take no survivors we planned it this way

i am the end of what you think you are
and if you want to run you won't get very far

stand the archers! mount the horses!
sharpen your swords for the gathering horde
beat the breastplates! yell your battle cry!
cower in fear for soon you shall die!

and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free

[the lover is in parenthesis]
and i covered my eyes (and oh, my love)
and i could see victory (i wish you well)
your blood stains my armor (please one day)
as i set you free (return to me)

[rebel leader & conquistador:]
and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free

and i covered my eyes
and i could see victory
your blood stains my armor
as i set you free
