The Trooper by Iron Maiden
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So (1)________ 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 (2)__________ of (3)__________ smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the (4)__________ wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the (5)________________ fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We were meant to fight another day.
We get so (6)__________ near enough to fight
When a Russian (7)________ me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A (8)__________ of rounds take my (9)__________ 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
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So (1)________ you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
