Iron Maiden - The Trooper |
[00:37] |
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too |
[00:39] |
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through |
[00:42] |
So when you're waiting for the next attack |
[00:45] |
You'd better stand there's no turning back. |
[00:48] |
The Bugle sounds and the charge begins |
[00:52] |
But on this battlefield no one wins |
[00:55] |
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath |
[00:57] |
As I plunge on into certain death. |
[01:00] |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
[01:36] |
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run |
[01:39] |
The mighty roar of the Russian guns |
[01:42] |
And as we race towards the human wall |
[01:45] |
The screams of pain as my comrades fall. |
[01:48] |
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground |
[01:51] |
And the Russians fire another round |
[01:53] |
We get so near yet so far away |
[01:57] |
We won't live to fight another day. |
[01:59] |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
[03:22] |
We get so close near enough to fight |
[03:25] |
When a Russian gets me in his sights |
[03:28] |
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow |
[03:31] |
A burst of rounds take my horse below. |
[03:34] |
And as I lay there gazing at the sky |
[03:37] |
My body's numb and my throat is dry |
[03:40] |
And as I lay forgotten and alone |
[03:43] |
Without a tear I draw my parting groan. |
[03:46] |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
