The Trooper Lyrics by Iron Maiden

The Trooper Lyrics

    You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
    You'll fire you musket but I'll run you through
    So when your waiting for the next attack
    You'd better stand there's no turning back

    The Bugle sounds as the charge begins
    But on this battlefield no one wins
    The smell of arcrid smoke and horses breath
    As you plunge into a certain death

    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

    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
