Текст песни Running Wild — Conquistadores
[INTRO]
[THEME]
Exploring the seas to conquer new lands.
Troops arrayed by the church.
Sanctified and blessed they set out.
Crusaders, gentiles' scourge.
PRECHORUS:
They fight, they kill, they rape
under the banner of the "holy" church.
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal,
doing dirty deeds (under the churchbell's peal).
CHORUS:
Conquistadores -
hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told.
Conquistadores -
religion knights, havoc and death caused by pride.
[THEME]
Pearls of glass for ingets of gold.
Violence, force and deceit.
Taking the wealth or the Indian's life -
their way of feeding their greed.
Heathen must turn to Christianity.
It's like "believe or die".
Arrogance and blindness, religion's force.
Believers never ask the reason why.
PRECHORUS:
They fight, they kill, they rape

CHORUS:

hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told.
Conquistadores -
religion knights, havoc and death caused by pride.

Краткое описание
Текст песни Running Wild — Conquistadores (Port Royal-1988) описывает период истории, когда испанские завоеватели, известные как конкистадоры, захватывали новые земли в поисках богатств. Песня раскрывает жестокость и жадность конкистадоров, которые убивали, насиловали и обманывали под прикрытием церкви. Следуя доктрине церкви, они вынуждали индейцев принимать христианство или сталкиваться с гибелью. В тексте отражены алчность за золотом, разрушительное воздействие религиозного фанатизма и навязывание веры без объяснений. Эта песня провоцирует задуматься о жестокости завоеваний и беспощадности верующих, вызывая критическое отношение к историческим событиям.
