The Hero And The Madman

歌詞

The hero he rode a white horse Across the desert to where his woman was He'd been riding for four days When he saw the tower where she was locked In the moonlight he left his old steed Near the drawbridge that he crossed And by way of a rope ladder He tip-toed to where his woman was If I recall you're the actor Who followed the stars Searching for The lost city of Mars Hoping time would heal the scars Knowing fate held no bars Are you the one That I think you are? Are you the hero or are you the madman? The madman climbed The steeple spire "Go higher" said the crowd From down below "But...the world's on fire" cried the madman From the steeple spire "You're a liar" cried the crown From down below The madman climbed the steeple spire And let a crystal ball tear Fall on the crown From down below If I recall you're the actor Who took to the stage Set the world ablaze With your anger and your rage With every new leaf You turned and wrote a new page Cleverly concealing Your real age Those that knew you Were always quite amazed Are you the one Who can take this praise? Are you the hero or are you the madman? "You're the only one" "who can save us" Said the wizard "Or all is lost"
