Iron Maiden - Flash Of The Blade lyrics

As a young boy chasing Dragons,

With your wooden sword, so mighty

You're St. George or you're David

And you always killed the beast

Times change very quickly,

And you had to grow up early

A house in smoking ruins

And the bodies at your feet

You'll die as you lived,

In a flash of the blade

In a corner, forgotten by no-one

You lived for the touch,

For the feel of the steel

One man, and his Honour

The smell of resined leather,

The steely iron mask

As you cut and thrust and parried

At the fencing master's call

He taught you all he ever knew,

To fear no mortal man

And now you'll wreak your vengeance,

In the screams of evil men

You'll die as you lived,

In a flash of the blade

In a corner, forgotten by no-one

You lived for the touch,

For the feel of the steel

One man, and his Honour

You'll die as you lived,

In a flash of the blade

In a corner, forgotten by no-one

You lived for the touch,

For the feel of the steel

One man, and his Honour
