Lyrics & Information

Taken from one of their most explosive albums ; 'Vagabonds of the Western World'. One of my favourite Eric Bell guitar tracks, he just goes insane toward the end. Incredible lyrics as usual follow and this song is open to many interpretations which I love.

Lyrics :-

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, could heal the scars

Knowing Fate held no bars

Those that knew ya

Always said you'd go far

Are you the one, 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

"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 ya

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."

[Furious solo and end]
