Vanguard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Savior of the universe
Flash! Ah-ah
He'll save everyone of us
(Seemingly, there is no reason for these extraordinary intergalactical upsets)
(What's happening, Flash?)
Flash! Ah-ah
He's a miracle
(This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm)
Flash! Ah-ah
King of the impossible
He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
He saves with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman
Every child, it's the mighty Flash
(General Kala, Flash Gordon approaching)
(What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
(Open fire! All weapons!)
(Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body)
Flash! Ah-ah
(Gordon's alive!)
Flash! Ah-ah
He'll save every one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
You know he's nothing but a man
And he can never fail
No one but the pure at heart
May find the Golden Grail
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!)
Flash
in Vanguard's song "Flash" is a tribute to the main character of the 1980 movie "Flash Gordon." The song describes Flash as a hero who is capable of saving the entire universe from impending doom. The lyrics use a lot of repetition to emphasize the hero's attributes such as being a miracle and king of the impossible. Flash is described as being able to save every man, woman, and child, with his mighty hand.
The lyrics also include dialogue from the movie, which adds a layer of context and helps set the scene. The character of Dr. Hans Zarkov is mentioned, who provides some explanation of the unusual intergalactic upsets that are taking place. General Kala, a military character in the movie, is mentioned as well. The lyrics showcase Flash's bravery and determination, even in the face of overwhelming force.
