A conqueror

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)



I will conquer
for I am a conqueror
the enemy tried me
they became one against me
but my world was bigger and stronger
so I conquered my fears
I wiped away my tears
oh you enemies of progress
when will you stop
turning my glory into shame
you sort to destroy my name
but I have no one to blame
for no weapon against me shall prosper
surly i will be the one to conquer
I will conquer
for I am a conqueror
