Iron Maiden - The Duellists Lyrics
He threw down a glove you made the mistakeOf picking it up now youre goneThe choosing of guns or fighting with swordsThe choice of weapons is doneHell tear you apart as soon as you startYou know you dont have a chance.ChorusOh...oh...fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for the pleasureOh...oh...fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for your life!Ready to start the duel begins the best man wins in the end.A lunge and a feint, a parry too lateA cut to the chest and youre downSeeing the stain then feeling the painFeeling the sweat on your brow.ChorusThe fighting resumes, a silence looms the swordsmen move gainst eachOtherA cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow, a stab to the heart and youre downThe angel of death hears your last breathMeanwhile the reaper looks on.ChorusOh...oh...fought the honourFought for the splendourFought for the pleasureOh...oh...fought for the honourFought for the splendourFought to the death
