Lyrics

[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
