Numbers From the Beast (Original song by Iron Maiden) The Trooper Lyrics

You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
And on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge into a certain death

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
Mighty roar of the Russian guns
As we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies laying on the ground
And then the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds takes my horse below

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