Strong is the arm of the conquerer
But weak the mind that guides them
Shiny were the medals of honor
But oceans of blood it cost them
Long are the swords of the righteous
But short the tempers the wield them
To the victors
Go the illusions
They call this the conquerer's confusion
What is gained when blood is the cost
Control is won, but true power is lost
To the victors go the illusions
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
They call this the conquerer's confusion
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
Conquerer's retribution
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
Conquerer's retribution
Oh oh, ah ah...
Those who spit fire and anger burn their own tongues the worst
Pointing a finger at another leave three pointing in reverse
Those who spit fire and anger burn their own tongues the worst
Pointing a finger at another leave three pointing in reverse
Oh oh, ah ah...
Immense were the war-time profits
But the price was far more grimm
Fierce was the enemy
But not at cruel as the politician
Vast were the newly won lands
But more were the tears that watered them
Frigid are the dead in the grave
But colder are those that put them in
Oh oh, ah ah...
To the victors
Go the illusions
They call this the conquerer's confusion
What is gained when blood is the cost
Control is won, but true power is lost
To the victors go the illusions
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
They call this the conquerer's confusion
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
