The Conqueror Lyrics by Genesis
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
He climbs inside the looking glassAnd points at everything he hatesHe calls to you hey look out sonThat's a gun they're pointing at your pretty faceAnd the heads they are rollingFor the conqueror is on his wayAnd the justice day is comingFor the conqueror is on his wayFive hundred little women are calling at their hero's doorYes their hero's working overtimeHe's squirming on an empty floorAnd the heads they are rollingFor the conqueror is on his wayAnd the justice day is comingFor the conqueror is on his wayHe's brought the castle on the hillHe's brought it just to knock it downThe local power shout him downThey say he's just an empty headed clownAnd the heads they are rollingFor the conqueror is on his wayAnd the justice day is comingFor the conqueror is on his wayHe's busy building monumentsTo hide inside his empty graveYou there can you find some friendHe's looking for some people to saveAnd the heads they are rollingFor the conqueror is on his wayAnd the justice day is comingFor the conqueror is on his wayAnd the words of love are killing himAnd the conqueror is on his wayAnd the words of love were lying on an empty floorJust in the place where the conqueror lay
