The Trooper Lyrics - Piece Of Mind - Iron Maiden

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, 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, oh, oh 

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, oh, oh

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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, oh, oh
