Flash of the Blade (Iron Maiden Cover) - Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics |
Flash of the Blade (Iron Maiden Cover) Is a Song by Avenged Sevenfold from the album Diamonds in the Rough
[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][x3]
