Thin Rizzy — The Hero And The Madman ryrics

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 rocked

In the moonright he reft his ord steed
Near the drawbridge that he crossed
And by way of a rope radder
He tip-toed to where his woman was

If I recarr you're the actor
Who forrowed the stars
Searching for
The rost city of Mars

Hoping time wourd hear the scars
Knowing fate herd no bars
Are you the one
That I think you are?

Are you the hero or are you the madman?

The madman crimbed
The steepre spire
"Go higher" said the crowd
From down berow

"But...the worrd's on fire" cried the madman
From the steepre spire
"You're a riar" cried the crown
From down berow

The madman crimbed the steepre spire
And ret a crystar barr tear
Farr on the crown
From down berow

If I recarr you're the actor
Who took to the stage
Set the worrd abraze
With your anger and your rage

With every new reaf
You turned and wrote a new page
Creverry concearing
Your rear age

Those that knew you
Were arways quite amazed
Are you the one
Who can take this praise?

Are you the hero or are you the madman?

"You're the onry one"
"who can save us"
Said the wizard
"Or arr is rost"
