Album | maiden heaven - a tribute to iron maiden |
[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 |
