Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient desert lands
Your are the keeper of the mystery in your hands
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
Undercover of the veil of your disguise
The men that fear you are the ones that you despise
No one’s certain what you future will behold
You’re a legend you own story will be told
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
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
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
(2:56-Solo: Adrian Smith)
(3:19-Solo: Janick Gers)
(3:34-Solo: Dave Murray
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
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
Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue
