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,
but on this battlefield
no one wins

The smell of acrid
smoke and horses breath,
as I plunge on into
certain death

Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh!

The horse he sweats with
fear we break to run,
the mighty roar of
the Russian guns

And as we race toward
the human wall, the
screams of pain as
my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that
lay on the ground,
and the Russians
fire another round

We get so near yet
so far away, we won't
live to fight another day

Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh!

(2:11-Solo: Adrian Smith)
(2:35-Solo: Dave Murray)

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
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

Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh
