Once was a legend of old In the time of days long ago The clattering beat of a horse on the street He appeared from the fog like a ghost I could feel him heading this way A storm was filling the air If the truth be told when the winds blow cold They are warning you to beware No, the wild cannot be tamed Keeper of the flame We wondered what devil is this Who appears from out of the mist With a crack of a whip and a wave of his fist He was cursed and I was bewitched
Haunted by seeing his face Through the mirror, the smoke and the haze So hard to see through the dark mystery The illusion was part of the game No, the wild cannot be tamed Keeper of the flame Be careful of what you wish for And make sure when it knocks at your door It'll be what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more Let it be what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more
