Bruce Dickinson
Flash of the Blade
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 the flash of the blade
(In a corner forgotten away)
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
(One man, and his honor)

[Verse 3]
The smell of resigned leather
The sticky iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parry
At the fencing master's call
[Verse 4]
He taught you all he knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you'll wreak your vengeance
On the screams of evil men

[Chorus]
You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
(In a corner forgotten away)
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
(One man, and his honor)

[Chorus]
You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
(In a corner forgotten away)
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
(One man, and his honor)

[Chorus]
You'll die as you lived
In the flash of the blade
(In a corner forgotten away)
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
(One man, and his honor)
