The Hero & The Madman Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

The hero 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 tippie-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 

Those that knew ya always said you'd go far 

Are you the one who I think you are?

Oh, are you the hero? 

Oh, are you the madman? 

Oh, are you the hero? 

Oh, are you the madman? 

The madman climbed the steeple spire 

"Go higher, go higher", said the crowd from down below 

"But the world's on fire", said the madman from the steeple spire 

"You're a liar, you're a liar", said the crowd from down below 

So the madman climbed the steeple spire 

And let a crystal ball tear fall on the crowd down below 

If I recall, you're the actor who took to the stage 

Set the world ablaze with your anger and your rage 

And 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 that can take this praise?

Oh, are you the hero? 

Oh, are you the madman? 

Oh, are you the hero? 

Oh, are you the madman? 

"You're the only one that can save us", cried the wizard 

"Or all is lost"
