Thin Lizzy

Thin Lizzy are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist/vocalist Phil Lynott, met while still in school. Lynott assumed the role of frontman and led them throughout their recording career of twelve studio albums. Thin Lizzy are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. more »

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"
