The Trooper Lyrics
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you throughSo when you're waiting for the next attackYou'd better stand there's no turning back.The Bugle sounds and the charge beginsBut on this battlefield no one winsThe smell of acrid smoke and horses breathAs I plunge on into certain death.The horse he sweats with fear we break to runThe mighty roar of the Russian gunsAnd as we race towards the human wallThe screams of pain as my comrades fall.We hurdle bodies that lay on the groundAnd the Russians fire another roundWe get so near yet so far awayWe won't live to fight another day.We get so close near enough to fightWhen a Russian gets me in his sightsHe pulls the trigger and I feel the blowA burst of rounds take my horse below.And as I lay there gazing at the skyMy body's numb and my throat is dryAnd as I lay forgotten and aloneWithout a tear I draw my parting groan.
