The Trooper (Live In Tokyo 16/2/08)-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
