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 parried 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)
