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
