Iron Maiden - The Trooper [1998 Remaster]

You'll take my life but I'll take yours tooYou'll fire your musket but I'll run you throughSo when you're waiting for the next attackYou'd better stand there's no turning back

The bugle sounds as the charge beginsBut on this battlefield no one winsThe smell of acrid smoke and horses breathAs you plunge into a certain death

Oh oh ohOh oh oh

The horse he sweats with fear we break to runThe mighty roar of the Russian gunsAnd as we race towards human wallThe screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the groundAnd as the Russians fire another roundWe get so near yet so far awayWe won't live to fight another day

Oh oh ohOh oh oh

We get so close near enough to fightWhen a Russian gets me in his sightsHe pulls the trigger and I feel the blowA burst of rounds takes my horse below

And as I lay there gazing at the skyMy body's numb and my throat is dryAnd as I lay forgotten and aloneWithout a tear I draw my parting groan

Oh oh ohOh oh oh
