[00:00]	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

[00:00]	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
