Iron Maiden
Powerslave (1984) - 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



[Chorus:]

You'll die as
you lived

In a flash of the blade

In a corner forgotten by
no-one

You lived 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 ever knew

To
fear no mortal man

And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the

Screams of evil man.



[Chorus:]

[Repeat
chorus]
