Conqueror's Samba

[Verse] In a sun-drenched place where sea meets sand, With the samba sounds always near at hand, Came a conqueror from a distant time, Genghis Khan, aglow in his glory prime. [Flute solo] [Verse] His steeds surround the city's thrumming core, Up in the hills; on Ipanema's shore. His eyes ablaze, with awe and rage. A vibrant city meets a darker age! [Chorus] Genghis Khan in Rio, what a sight to behold, Where mountain meets ocean, a thousand stories told. The favelas and the beaches, city so wide, Genghis Khan in Rio, furious, mystified. [Horn solo] [Verse] Strolls 'neath the Christ, with eyes and arms so wide. He pillaged to the pulse, of the gentle tide. Drumbeat of the hooves, and the cuíca's mournful cry The colors, scents and sounds, bring tears to his eye. bring tears to his eye. [Drum solo] [Bridge] Then he drew his bow, on a crowded street, Each corner there's a new soul that he must defeat! Yet deep inside his heart, a new song begins to stir. Genghis Khan in Rio, now quietly demurs. [Chorus] Genghis Khan in Rio, what a sight to behold, Where mountain meets ocean, a thousand stories told. The favelas and the beaches, city so wide, Genghis Khan in Rio, curious, satisfied. [Bridge] In the heart of the jungle, the city of grace, A conqueror humbled, at last finds his place. [Outro] As the sun dips low and the night ignites, In the city's glow, he takes to the heights. A conqueror's heart, now touched by the beat, Of Rio's soul, irresistable heat. [Instrumental]
