The Trooper by Iron Maiden

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

The (5)__________ sounds and the (6)____________ begins
But on (7)________ battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid (8)__________ and (9)____________ breath
As I plunge on into (10)______________ death.

The horse he (11)____________ with fear we (12)__________ to run
The (13)____________ (14)________ of the (15)______________ guns
And as we (16)________ towards the human wall
The screams of (17)________ as my (18)________________ fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the (19)________________ fire another round
We get so (20)________ yet so far away
We (21)________ meant to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He (22)__________ the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my (23)__________ 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
