The Trooper Songtext
von MICappella

You′ll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You′ll fire my escape, 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
There's no blackened smoke and horse′s breath
And the flames are here to stay tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh


The horses whinny with fear and 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 heard their bodies lay on the ground
And the Russians fire all around
We get so near, yet so far away
We were meant to fight another day

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sight
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A blaze of rounds takes my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My blood is gone and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
