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
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
The horse he sweats with fear
We break to run
The mighty roar
Of the Russian guns
And as we race
Towards 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
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
