Iron Maiden — The Nomad

[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 [Instrumental Break: 2:55-3:50 2:56 - Solo played by Adrian Smith 3:19 - Solo played by Janick Gers 3:34 - Solo played by Dave Murray] [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 will die 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 [Instrumental Outro]
