Flash Of The Blade Lyrics - Powerslave - Iron Maiden

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 forgot by no one 

You lived for the touch 

For the feel of the steel 

One man, and his honour.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 forgot 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 

Caught up but got in the way. 

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 

Caught up but got in the way. 

You lived for the touch 

For the feel of the steel 

One man, and his honour.
