Flash Of The Blade Lyrics

Flash Of The Blade lyrics

(Iron Maiden Cover)



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.



CHORUS



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 honor.



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.



CHORUS
