Flash Of The Blade Lyrics by 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.

    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 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.

    CHORUS
