The Trooper

this next batch of writings are lyrics of songs from my favorite musicians that inspired me to write,

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

The bugal sounds the charge begins
but on this battle field no one wins
the smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
as I plunge on into certain death

Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh, oh, ohhhhh
Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,ohhhhhh

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.

Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,ohhhh
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,ohhhh

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 there gazing at the sky
my body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and a loan
without a tear I draw my parting groan.

Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,ohhhh
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,ohhhh

Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
