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'll die as you lived

In a flash of the blade,

In a corner forgotten by no one.

You llived 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 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 forgotten by no one.

You llived for the touch

For the feel of the steel

One man, and his honour.
