Thin Lizzy are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist and vocalist Phil Lynott, met while still in school. Lynott assumed the role of frontman and led them throughout their recording career of twelve studio albums. Thin Lizzy's most successful songs, "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", were all major international hits which are still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years based initially around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. Gorham later continued with a new line-up including Downey.
Lynott, Thin Lizzy's de facto leader, was composer or co-composer of almost all of the band's songs, and the first black Irishman to achieve commercial success in the field of rock music. Thin Lizzy boasted some of the most critically acclaimed guitarists throughout their history, with Downey and Lynott as the rhythm section, on the drums and bass guitar. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities during The Troubles. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including blues, soul music, psychedelic rock, and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or sometimes heavy metal. Rolling Stone magazine describes the band as distinctly hard rock, "far apart from the braying mid-70s metal pack".

Thin Lizzy - The Hero And The Madman
Lyrics & Information
Taken from one of their most explosive albums ; 'Vagabonds of the Western World'. One of my favourite Eric Bell guitar tracks, he just goes insane toward the end. Incredible lyrics as usual follow and this song is open to many interpretations which I love.
Lyrics :-
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 tippie-toed to where, his woman was
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 ya
Always said you'd go far
Are you the one, I think y...

[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

Set the world ablaze, with your anger and your rage
And with every new leaf, you turned and wrote a new page
Cleverly concealing, your real age
Those that knew ya
Were always quite amazed
Are you the one, that can take this praise?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero
Oh, are you the madman
"You're the only one that can save us", cried the wizard
"Or all is lost."
