Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "The Hero and the Madman" von Thin Lizzy erzählt die Geschichte von zwei unterschiedlichen Charakteren, dem...

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 tippy toed, to where....his woman was....

If I recall, your the actor who followed the stars,
Searching for the lost city of Mars
Hoping time, could heal the scars
Knowing fate, held no bars
And those that knew you,
Always said you'd go far
Are you the one, who I think you are ?

CHORUS
Oh are you the hero
Oh or are you the madman

The Madman,
Climbed the steeple spire,
"Go higher Go higher", said the crowd
From down below
"But....But the world's on Fire", said
The Madman from the steeple spire,
"Your a liar, your 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 your 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,
And those that knew you,
Were always quite amazed
Are you the one, that can take this praise.

CHORUS
Oh are you the Hero,
Oh or are you the Madman

"And you are the only one that can save us",
cried the wizard
"Or all is lost".
