[00:36.95] You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
[00:39.01]
[00:39.89] You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
[00:41.88]
[00:42.90] So when you're waiting for the next attack
[00:44.71]
[00:45.77] You'd better stand there's no turning back.
[00:47.78]
[00:48.97] The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
[00:50.84]
[00:51.66] But on this battlefield no one wins
[00:53.63]
[00:55.00] The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
[00:57.12]
[00:57.92] As I plunge on into certain death.
[01:00.06]
[01:00.68] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[01:05.30]
[01:37.86] The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
[01:39.67] The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:41.37]
[01:42.42] And as we race towards the human wall
[01:44.23]
[01:45.30] The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
[01:47.86]
[01:48.48] We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:50.35]
[01:51.15] And the Russians fire another round
[01:53.49]
[01:54.18] We get so near yet so far away
[01:56.13]
[01:57.18] We won't live to fight another day.
[01:59.26]
[01:59.82] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[02:12.12]
[03:23.90] We get so close near enough to fight
[03:25.95] When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:27.71]
[03:28.64] He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:30.57]
[03:31.52] A burst of rounds take my horse below.
[03:33.57]
[03:34.31] And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:36.33]
[03:37.21] My body's numb and my throat is dry
[03:39.28]
[03:40.23] And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:42.15]
[03:42.90] Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
[03:45.84] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
