Discover the story of the song > Conquistador – Procol Harum

The song is about a man called the Conquistador who is in need of companionship and seems very pure, but he is actually old and worn out. He has a shield with a vulture on it and a rusty sword with jewels, but it has been washed away by the sea. The protagonist comes to mock him but ends up feeling regretful as he sees that the Conquistador did not conquer, he just died.
