[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

He climbs inside the looking glass

And points at anything he hates

He calls to you "Hey look out son

That's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face"


[Chorus]

And the heads they are a-rolling

'Cause the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way


[Verse 2]

Five hundred little women

Are calling at their hero's door

Yes, their hero is working overtime

He's squirming on an empty floor


[Chorus]

And the heads they are a-rolling

'Cause the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way


[Verse 3]

He's bought the castle on the hill

He's bought it just to knock it down

The local power shout him down

They say he's just an empty-headed clown


[Chorus]

And the heads they are a-rolling

'Cause the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way


[Verse 4]

He's busy building monuments

To hide inside his empty grave

You there, can you find some souls?

He's looking for some people to save


[Chorus]

And the heads they are a-rolling

'Cause the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way

And the words of love are killing him

And the conqueror is on his way

And the words of love were lying on an empty floor

Just in the place where the conqueror lay
