[00:00]Iron Maiden - The Trooper
[00:37]You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
[00:39]You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
[00:42]So when you're waiting for the next attack
[00:45]You'd better stand there's no turning back.
[00:48]The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
[00:52]But on this battlefield no one wins
[00:55]The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
[00:57]As I plunge on into certain death.
[01:00]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[01:36]The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
[01:39]The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:42]And as we race towards the human wall
[01:45]The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
[01:48]We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:51]And the Russians fire another round
[01:53]We get so near yet so far away
[01:57]We won't live to fight another day.
[01:59]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[03:22]We get so close near enough to fight
[03:25]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:28]He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:31]A burst of rounds take my horse below.
[03:34]And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:37]My body's numb and my throat is dry
[03:40]And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:43]Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
[03:46]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
