Flash of the Blade

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 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) The smell of resined leather The sticky iron mask As you cut and thrust and parry 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 On the screams of evil men 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) 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) 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)
