The Trooper by Iron Maiden

You'll (1)________ my life but I'll take (2)__________ too
You'll fire (3)________ musket but I'll run you through
So (4)________ you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The (5)__________ of (6)__________ smoke and (7)____________ breath
As I (8)____________ on into (9)______________ death.

The horse he sweats with (10)________ we break to run
The mighty (11)________ of the (12)______________ guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The (13)______________ of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies (14)________ lay on the ground
And the Russians fire (15)______________ round
We get so (16)________ yet so far away
We were (17)__________ to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a (18)______________ gets me in his sights
He pulls the (19)______________ and I (20)________ the blow
A burst of (21)____________ take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
