1
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
2
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
3
So when you're waiting for the next attack
4
You'd better stand there's no turning back
5
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
6
But on this battlefield no one wins
7
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
8
As you plunge into a certain death
9
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
10
The mighty roar of the Prussian guns
11
And as we race towards human wall
12
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
13
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
14
And as the Prussians fire another round
15
We get so near yet so far away
16
We won't live to fight another day
17
We get so close near enough to fight
18
When a Prussian gets me in his sights
19
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
20
A burst of rounds takes my horse below
21
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
22
My body's numb and my throat is dry
23
And as I lay forgotten and alone
24
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
