Procol Harum - Conquistador -2006.
Live at Ledreborg Palace 2006.

Conquistador - 1967

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

  • Procol Harum's Concert in Denmark's Ledreborg Castle in summer 2006 performing live with the symphonic splendour of the Danish National Concert Orchetra and Choir.

    The Lyrics ... The Music ... The Band .... The Orchestra...The Choir ....

    Conquistador -

    Whiter Shade of Pale -

    First there was ..Bach .......... then ..Brahms ....... now .. Brooker

    ....and He lived in your lifetime!

  • Wow, 2006! And I thought Procol Harum is a group of long past days.

    Old man Brooker seems to be even better with this and the other good old songs than he was younger. Great rendition and the whole concert as well.

see all

  • My Highschool Orchestra played this song!

  • I STILL MISS ROBIN TROWER

  • Love it :)

  • Brilliant

  • AMAZING STILL, IM 53 AND ENJOY IT LIKE GOOD OLD TIMES WAOOOOHHH!!!!

  • I will swear until the day that I die that there is no instrument more powerful than a Hammond B-3 when it lets loose with its tone-wheel generated, leslie-modulated scream such as can be heard in the latter bars of Procol Harum's Conquistador.

    To this day it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

  • What a beautiful song, a real classic after so many years, its seems the singer got even better over the years...

  • @MrBlacklorre Cheers, Mr Blacklorre!

  • @Duneenzo Oh OK!

  • @MrBlacklorre "And like some angel's haloed brow, you reek of purity..." :)
