Flash Of The Blade

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
As a young boy chasing DragonsWith 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 livedIn the flash of a blade,In a corner forgotten by no-one.You lived for the touchFor the feel of the steel,One man, and his Honour.The smell of resined leatherThe steely iron maskAs you cut and thrust and parried at thefencing master's call.He taught you all he never knewTo fear no mortal manAnd now you'll wreak your vengeance in theScreams of evil men.You'll die as you livedIn the flash of a blade,In a corner forgotten by no-one.You lived for the touchFor the feel of the steel,One man, and his Honour.You'll die as you livedIn the flash of a blade,In a corner forgotten by no-one.You lived for the touchFor the feel of the steel,One man, and his Honour.
