[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 you always said you'd go far
Are you the one who I think you are?

[Chorus]
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?

[Verse 2]
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 spire
"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
