Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Avenged Sevenfold - Flash Of The Blade ------------------------------------------ [Iron Maiden cover] 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 away. You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his honour. The smell of resined leather The sticky iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing masters call. He taught you all he ever knew To fear no mortal man And now you'll reach your vengeance on the Screams of evil men. You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade, In a corner forgotten away. You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his honour. [Solo] You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade, In a corner forgotten away. 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, In a corner forgotten away. You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his honour.
