The Trooper(Live) - Iron Maiden

[00:00.00]Iron Maiden - The Trooper
[00:36.50]You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
[00:38.50]You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
[00:41.50]So when you're waiting for the next attack
[00:44.50]You'd better stand there's no turning back.
[00:47.50]The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
[00:51.50]But on this battlefield no one wins
[00:54.50]The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
[00:56.50]As I plunge on into certain death.
[00:59.50]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[01:35.50]The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
[01:38.50]The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:41.50]And as we race towards the human wall
[01:44.50]The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
[01:47.50]We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:50.50]And the Russians fire another round
[01:52.50]We get so near yet so far away
[01:56.50]We won't live to fight another day.
[01:58.50]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[03:21.50]We get so close near enough to fight
[03:24.50]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:27.50]He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:30.50]A burst of rounds take my horse below.
[03:33.50]And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:36.50]My body's numb and my throat is dry
[03:39.50]And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:42.50]Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
[03:45.50]Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
