British progressive rock legends Procol Harum are captured here at their finest, in concert at London's Union Chapel, playing Conquistador. It was the last night of a tour that had taken them from London through Europe, Japan and North America and back again to London. Gary Brooker still has one of the best voices ever and writes a fine tune. The song features an amazing Keith Reid lyric.
The resulting DVD is available from Eagle Entertainment
Lyrics
Conquistador your stallion stands, in need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armor 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 sheath
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 aureole
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
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
