Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
