Conquistadores - Chico Hamilton

Conquistadores Lyrics

Exploring the seas to conquer new lands
Troops arrayed by the church
Sanctified and blessed they set out
Crusaders, gentiles' scourgeThey fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the holy church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal
Doing dirty deeds under church bell's pealConquistadores, hungry for gold
Doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores, religion's knight
Havoc and death caused by pridePearls of glass for ingest of gold
Violence, force and deceit
Taking the wealth or the Indian's life
Their way of feeding their greedHeathen must turn to Christianity
It's like believe or die
Arrogance and blindness, religion's force
Believers never ask the reason whyThey fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the holy church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal

Doing dirty deeds under church bell's pealConquistadores, hungry for gold
Doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores, religion's knight
Havoc and death caused by prideYeahHeathen must turn to Christianity
It's like believe or die
Arrogance and blindness, religion's force
Believers never ask the reason whyThey fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the holy church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal
Doing dirty deeds, yeahConquistadores, hungry for gold
Doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores, religion's knight
Havoc and death caused by prideConquistadores, hungry for gold
Doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores, religion's knight
Havoc and death caused by pride, by pride
