Proud Nomad lyrics

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 howls of the wind scream 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 its 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

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

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 its grasp

Proud Nomad of the past

Beware of yourself

For your life won't last
