• you'll take my life but ill take yours too

    you'll fire your musket but ill run you through

    so when your waiting for the next attack

    youd better stand there's no turning back

    the bugle 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



    (chorus)

    oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohx2



    the horse he swaets 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 wont live to fight another day



    (chorus)







    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 alone

    without a tear i draw my parting groan
