Conquerors Of The Skies
In this land of if only, I'd only have myself to reckon with
no real or imaginary people to fight with or have a tiff
In a world of seize and conquer I would feel no loss
I'd ride the ocean winds like an ancient Albatross
In a world of make believe I'd be Queen

Winners and Conquerors
To the winner, the medal
never full glory...
To the conqueror, the spoils
never hearts and souls...!
Winners and Conquerors,
they are human...not olympics ,
nor August ...!
they will never be Gods!

The Curse of Conquerors Past, Part V
...To prove his point he even opened his shirt,
laid bare his sternum so our blades could stab,
but we were all frozen by what we’d heard,
the worlds just sounded so utterly mad.
He believed he was possessed by Genghis Khan?
And that the ghost had trapped him in his brain?
That the Khan had committed all his great crimes…
I’d

The Curse of Conquerors Past, Part Iv
...“You know that I didn’t start out this way,
and this life I have never desired,
I just wanted to discover the past,
to my mind no calling was higher…
“Until the day I found that cursed tomb,
we were so thrilled to see what was inside,
how could we, or anybody have known,
that withing Genghis Khan’s soul had survived.
“I was

The Curse of Conquerors Past, Part Iii
...Not many people could unite such a force,
it was Williamson who was the lynch-pin,
if he could be killed they all would splinter,
amongst the horde civil wars would begin.
This, it appeared, was the best option left,
even if it meant many more would perish,
less would die than if the Khan kept going,
his genocides I could not let

The Curse of Conquerors Past, Part Ii
...Khan Williamson, for his troops called him that now,
split his forces and swarmed in from the west,
million of Uighurs joined him for revenge,
and all in his path could quickly attest
That if you surrendered to his great horde
he’d let you live, and even keep your wife,
but you had to join him, or he’d let loose,
he’d take

The Curse of Conquerors Past, Part I
I write this down not knowing what to think,
or how to make sense of what I went through,
my name is Blake Jones, I was S.A.S.,
and everything that I write here is true.
This tale tells how we killed Khan Williamson,
the tyrant who nearly conquered the earth,
an archaeologist looking for a tomb,
who came out dealing in conquest

Brave Conquerors of Weakened Tribes
Brave Conquerors Of Weakened Tribes
They could never in any great haste
their false glory dare to forsake.
Why abandon that gleam in their eyes
for truth in those sad tomorrows?
Dwell not in that bitter splendor
A victor with a yellow wreath.
In pride hide being a lying pretender
never giving up what fate bequeath!
Restless spirits from vanquished foes
can not invade that

In the End Love Always Conquerors All
I look forward into the light with a new hope
Knowing the darkness behind with which I had to cope
Seeing the war of fear which we always fought
Learning the lessons of faith with which you taught
With you by my side I shall never fall
In the end love always conquerors all
Shadows of pain tried to take you
