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 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 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 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 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
