The Nomad

***

Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating in the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient deserts 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
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 your 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 know one tells

No one dares to even look or glance your way
Your reputation goes before you they all say
Like a spirit you 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, has ever understood your genius

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

Legend has it that speak an ancient tongue
But no one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale
Some they say you killed a hundred men
Others say 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, has ever understood your genius
