Now I tell you an ancient tale Of an ancient man From not such a distant land Chivalry rode forth on his mighty horse The crest of the church Engraved upon his chest Winding down this dizzy path Towards the dragon's lair The howl of the wind screams beware Your pulse starts to quicken Your blood runs with fear You feel the heat now rising It tells the dragon's near Proud nomad of the past Beware of yourself for Your life won't last Proud Nomad of the past Pride has killed a thousand Men before you Proud Nomad of the past Beware of yourself for Your life won't last Proud Nomad of the past So let not this foolishness Hold you in it's grasp Stop, beware, run for your life Fear for your life While there's still time to choose Halt don't go near Don't you realize you have only one life So don't be a fool But time and time again I see it in their eyes It's the weakness of mortal men They live by this creed Though it will find them dead Proud Nomad of the past Beware of yourself for Your life won't last
