The Trooper

[00:36.48] You'll take my life but I'll take yours too

[00:39.59] You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through

[00:42.70] So when you're waiting for the next attack

[00:45.53] You'd better stand, there's no turning back

[00:48.64] The bugle sounds and the charge begins

[00:51.47] But on this battlefield no one wins

[00:54.57] The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath

[00:57.68] As I plunge on into certain death

[01:00.23] --

[01:36.12] The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run

[01:39.23] The mighty roar of the Russian guns

[01:42.34] And as we race towards the human wall

[01:45.17] The screams of pain as my comrades fall

[01:48.27] We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground

[01:51.10] And the Russians fire another round

[01:53.93] We get so near yet so far away

[01:57.04] We won't live to fight another day

[01:59.58] --

[03:22.33] We get so close near enough to fight

[03:25.44] When a Russian gets me in his sights

[03:28.27] He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow

[03:31.09] A burst of rounds take my horse below

[03:34.20] And as I lay there gazing at the sky

[03:37.03] My body's numb and my throat is dry

[03:39.86] And as I lay forgotten and alone

[03:42.96] Without a tear I draw my parting groan

[03:45.51] --
