Iron Maiden - The Nomad Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient desert lands
You are the keeper of the mystery in your hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Nomad, rider of the ancient east
Nomad, rider that men know the least
Nomad, where you come from no-one knows
Nomad, where you go to no-one tells

[Verse 2]
Undercover of the veil of your disguise
The men that fear you are the ones that you despise
No-one's certain what your future will behold
You're a legend, your own story will be told

[Pre-Chorus]
Nomad, rider of the ancient east
Nomad, rider that men know the least
Nomad, where you come from no-one knows
Nomad, where you go to no-one tells

[Verse 3]
No-one dares to even look or glance your way
Your reputation goes before you they all say
Like a spirit that can disappear at will
Many claim of things, but no-one's seen you kill

[Chorus 1]
Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man's ever understood your genius

[Verse 4]
Those who see you in horizon desert sun
Those who fear your reputation hide or run
You send before you a mystique that's all your own
Your silhouette is like a statue carved in stone

[Chorus 2]
Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man ever understood your genius

(Epic instrumental break)

[Verse 5]
Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue
But no-one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale
Some may say that you have killed a hundred men
Others say that you have died and live again

[Chorus 2]
Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious
Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us
Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands
No man ever understood your genius
