"Flash" is a song by British rock band Queen. Written by guitarist Brian May, "Flash" is the theme song of the 1980 film Flash Gordon.
Flash ah ah Savior of the Universe Flash ah ah He'll save every one of us (Seemingly there is no reason for these extraordinary intergalactical upsets) (What's happening Flash?) (Only Doctor Hans Zarkhov, formerly at NASA, has provided any explanation) 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 save with a mighty hand Every man, every woman Every child, with a 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 (Flash, Flash, I love you, But we only have fourteen hours to save the earth) Flash
