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
