Conquistador

by The Shamen

on Axis Mutatis (1995), Pipeline (1963)

Ah conquistador is it only gold you're looking for
Or may you still yet see
The treasure long concealed within thee?

Ah conquistador campaigns you waged to win the war
To gain the world and lose your soul
What were you fighting for?

Ah conquistador is it only gold you're looking for
How can you still not see
A treasure long concealed within thee?

Ah conquistador who plundered paradise and more
To gain the world and lose your soul
Por que conquistador?

Ah conquistador enslaved in chains you never saw
You who were meant to live so free

Ah conquistador is it only gold you're searching for
How can you still not see
A treasure long concealed within thee?

Ta logico, ta otimo, ta legal
Tem jeito?
... sempre tem jeito
