Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Conquest

He was out to make a conquest

Didn't care what harm was done

Just as long as he won the prize

Conquest

She was just another conquest

Didn't care whose heart was broke

Love to him was a joke

'Til he looked into her eyes

And then in the strange way things happen

Their roles were reversed from that day

The hunted became the huntress

The hunter became the prey

Conquest

Now you know who made the conquest

She with all her female guile

Led him helpless down the aisle

She had finally made a conquest

...

And then in the strange way things happen

Their roles were reversed from that day

The hunted became the huntress

The hunter became the prey

Conquest

Now you know who made the conquest

She with all her female guile

Led him helpless down the aisle

She had finally made a conquest

...

Conquest
