Iron Maiden - The Nomad Lyrics






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

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
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

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

  50. K.... ....

    I will always get Dune vibes from this song. It makes me think of blind Maud Dib.

  51. J.... R....

    My second favorite song on this album. Barely behind The Wicker Man.

  52. s.... w....

    A SPINE-TINGLING moment of beauty...........thank you Dave Murray ...

  53. P.... ....

    ปีศาจเหล็กกล้า!!!

  54. r.... B....

    Beautiful melody and guitars! One of the best!!

  55. O.... S....

    Como que os caras conseguem fazer um som desses? É por isso que são a melhor banda de heavy metal do mundo,e estão na estrada a anos,e a bilhões de anos luz desse lixo chamado "funk".

  56. C.... d....

    🇧🇷👍

  57. E.... E....

    each one of you who likes this album, should listen also to Somewhere in Time. I think SIT has the same mood of BNW but much better developed!

  58. A.... ....

    Jesus christ, there is something very egyptianlike feel to this song, which I fucking love. It's so nomadic just like the desert wind scraping the sand. Such an underrated song and album. The atmosphere is astonishing.

  59. C.... S....

    Been a Maiden fan since the mid 80s. This is my new favorite. Just pure epic greatness

    C.... S....

    Carl Spackler 🤘🤘🤘

  60. K.... K....

    Solo is great. Wow, I love it.

  61. �.... �....

    🇺🇦🤘👍

  62. S.... S....

    My favoriti

  63. V.... K....

    i love the part with the cello

  64. N.... ....

    Maiden was one of the first metal bands I listened to back in the late 80s. As a matter of fact 7th son of a 7th son was the first album I bought and loved it. Iron maiden is heavy metal genius unleashed, wild and unbridled. Nobody will be able to compare to this.

  65. C.... E....

    Learn history with Iron Maiden because Iron Maiden makes you smarter!!! ...and way cooler too :-)

  66. D.... R....

    A masterpiece!

  67. T.... G....

    na kai tsifteteli apo iron maiden

  68. J.... A....

    Por Dios esta canción merece un graamy,que sonido Iron Maiden en su elemento natural,saludos desde México heads bandyers de todo el planetas y sus alrededores

  69. Y.... K....

    a Powerslave Song

  70. H.... M....

    Tragic that noone understands him, but good that they fear him.

  71. A.... W....

    Iron maiden is my religion

  72. D.... N....

    It sounds like Adrian is using a Boss-y distortion pedal. The only pedal that's really a tribute to Iron Maiden are either the Wampler Catapulp or the Iron Drive from Pettyjohn.

  73. A.... C....

    That´s why we like Iron Maiden!

  74. P.... o....

    "The men that fear you are the ones that you despise
    No one's certain what your future will behold"

  75. C.... H....

    Get Me OUT of Sarasota!

  76. C.... H....

    I Need a BEAST 2 FLY Me to SOUTH america!!!

  77. R.... B....

    Seriously!! This is bullshit!!!

  78. S.... ....

    How can someone be flacid while listening to this??

  79. P.... �....

    This song runs in my veins

  80. W.... D....

    This needs to be in X-Men Sinister.

  81. S.... J....

    Compare the 4:03 chorus to Jack Black's 'Jumanji Song'... lol.

  82. B.... M....

    They should make this a genre called "relax metal"

  83. D.... N....

    Nomads in Master of Magic produced all of the cool flying units. Gryphons and sphinxes.

  84. D.... T....

    probably most underrated maiden song of all time

  85. D.... T....

  93. T.... n....
