The Nomad

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

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 your 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

Those who see you in horizon desert sun
Those who fear you reputation hide or run
You send before you a mystique that's all
your own
You 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's ever understood your genius

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

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
