The Trooper
Epic Battle of Sacrifice and Survival
Lyrics
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You may take my life, but I will take yours as well
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
You will shoot your musket, but I will defeat you by running you through with a weapon
So when you're waiting for the next attack
While anticipating the next enemy assault
You'd better stand there's no turning back
It's crucial to stand ground, as there is no option to retreat
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
The bugle signals the start of the attack
But on this battlefield no one wins
In this war, no one truly emerges victorious
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
The air is filled with the harsh scent of smoke and the breath of horses
As I plunge on into certain death
I charge forward into inevitable death
The horse, he sweats with fear we break to run
The horse is frightened, and we attempt to flee
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
The powerful sound of Russian artillery
And as we race towards the human wall
Approaching the human barrier with speed
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
Horrifying cries as my fellow soldiers are killed
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
We leap over the bodies scattered on the battlefield
And the Russians fire another round
The Russians unleash another volley of gunfire
We get so near yet so far away
We come close but remain out of reach
We won't live to fight another day
We won't survive to fight again in the future
We get so close near enough to fight
We approach near enough to engage in combat
When a Russian gets me in his sights
A Russian soldier takes aim at me
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
The trigger is pulled, and I feel the impact
A burst of rounds take my horse below
Rapid rounds hit my horse, causing it to fall
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
Lying on the ground, looking at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
My body is numb, and my throat is parched
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Forgotten and alone, lying there
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
Without shedding a tear, I utter my final groan
