The Duellists Lyrics by Iron Maiden

The Duellists Lyrics

    He threw down a glove you made the mistake
    Of picking it up now you're gone
    The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
    The choice of weapons is done
    He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
    You know you don't have a chance.

    CHORUS
    OH...OH...Fight for the honour
    Fight for the splendour
    Fight for the pleasure
    OH...OH...Fight for the honour
    Fight for the splendour
    Fight for your life!

    Ready to start the duel begins the best man wins in the end.
    A lunge and a feint, a parry too late
    A cut to the chest and you're down
    Seeing the stain then feeling the pain
    Feeling the sweat on your brow.

    CHORUS

    The fighting resumes, a silence looms the swordsmen move 'gainst each
    other
    A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow, a stab to the heart and you're down
    The Angel of Death hears your last breath
    Meanwhile the Reaper looks on.

    CHORUS
    OH...OH...Fought the honour
    Fought for the splendour
    Fought for the pleasure
    OH...OH...Fought for the honour
    fought for the splendour
    Fought to the death
