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"
