lyrics

Someone who pauses out on the horizon
Someone whose majesty is not surprising
Someone powered by oncoming glloom
Who really knows how to enter a room

She wants a conqueror like the dusk
That slips the skin leaving only husk
Evaporates into air leaving only musk
Common as a troubadour on the busk

Someone with unparalleled health
Someone with hitpoints for recovery and stealth
Someone who will take the wheel and steer
Someone who you’d never want to have a beer

He wants a conqueror like the dusk
That slips the skin leaving only husk
Evaporates into air leaving only musk
Common as a troubadour on the busk

By now he and she cannot have missed
Someone like who they seek don’t exist
By now he and she must be reconciled
All candidates fall short by a country mile

We want a conqueror like the dusk
That slips the skin leaving only husk
Evaporates into air leaving only musk
Common as a troubadour on the busk
