1
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too, you'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
2
So when you're waiting for the next attack, you'd better stand there's no turning back
3
The bugle sounds and the charge begins, but on this battlefield no one wins
4
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath, as I plunge on into certain death
5
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh!
6
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run, the mighty roar of the Russian guns
7
And as we race toward the human wall, the screams of pain as my comrades fall
8
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground, and the Russians fire another round
9
We get so near yet so far away, we won't live to fight another day
10
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh!
11
(2:11-Solo: Adrian Smith)
12
(2:35-Solo: Dave Murray)
13
We get so close near enough to fight, when a Russian gets me in his sights
14
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow, a burst of rounds take my horse below
15
And as I lay there gazing at the sky, my body's numb and my throat is dry
16
And as I lay forgotten and alone, without a tear I draw my parting groan
17
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh!
