The Conqueror Lyrics

Cover art for The Conqueror lyrics by Genesis

A great song and great segue from the last song about war and from side 1 if you are listening to vinyl. The same motif from the end of side 1 starts here in a different key. I guess perhaps if not directly adhering to Jonathan King's Biblical concept the idea of The Conqueror is certainly an archetype that runs throughout the bible and history of mankind. Also of note is the idea of this seems to evolve later into the concept of "The Knife" from the album Trespass. This also brings to mind the old saying that "Love Conquers All".
