Conquest Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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


[Refrain]
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


[Verse 2]
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


[Refrain]
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
[Verse 3]
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


[Outro]
Conquest
