The trooper

[00:32.70] You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too

[00:39.34] You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through

[00:42.55] So when you're waiting for the next attack

[00:45.47] You'd better stand, there's no turning back

[00:48.39] The bugle sounds, the charge begins

[00:51.59] But on this battlefield, no one wins

[00:54.50] The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath

[00:57.42] As I plunge on into certain death

[01:35.95] The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run

[01:39.13] The mighty roar of the Russian guns

[01:42.06] And as we race towards the human wall

[01:44.99] The screams of pain as my comrades fall

[01:48.18] We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground

[01:50.82] And the Russians fire another round

[01:53.78] We get so near, yet so far away

[01:56.72] We won't live to fight another day

[03:22.24] We get so close, near enough to fight

[03:25.17] When a Russian gets me in his sights

[03:28.09] He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow

[03:31.01] A burst of rounds take my horse below

[03:33.94] And as I lay there gazing at the sky

[03:36.86] My body's numb and my throat is dry

[03:39.78] And as I lay forgotten and alone

[03:42.70] Without a tear, I draw my parting groan.
