[00:36.96]You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
[00:39.63]You’ll fire your musket, but I’ll run you through
[00:43.02]So when you’re waiting for the next attack
[00:45.84]You’d better stand, there’s no turning back
[00:49.10]The bugle sounds, the charge begins
[00:51.71]But on this battlefield, no one wins
[00:54.91]The smell of acrid smoke and horses’ breath
[00:58.02]As I plunge on into certain death, oh, oh
[01:24.63]The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
[01:39.39]The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:42.39]And as we race towards the human wall
[01:45.38]The screams of pain as my comrades fall
[01:49.16]We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:51.50]And the Russians fire another round
[01:54.23]We get so near, yet so far away
[01:57.55]We were meant to fight another day, oh, oh
[03:22.87]We get so close, near enough to fight
[03:25.70]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:28.38]He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:31.01]A burst of rounds take my horse below
[03:34.09]And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:37.26]My body’s numb and my throat is dry
[03:40.25]And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:43.30]Without a tear, I draw my parting groan, oh, oh
