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