[length: 04:33]
[00:00.19]Into the valley of death, rode the six hundreds
[00:05.53]Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them
[00:08.20]Volleyed and thundered
[00:09.62]The Trooper
[00:12.89]
[00:47.43]You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
[00:49.98]You’ll fire your musket, but I’ll run you through
[00:52.47]So when you’re waiting for the next attack
[00:55.25]You’d better stand, there’s no turning back
[00:58.19]The bugle sounds, the charge begins
[01:01.03]But on this battlefield, no one wins
[01:03.77]The smell of acrid smoke and horses’ breath
[01:06.76]As I plunge on into certain deat
[01:08.75]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, come on
[01:14.14]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
[01:18.48]
[01:41.35]The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
[01:44.34]The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:47.00]And as we race towards the human wall
[01:49.76]The screams of pain as my comrades fall
[01:52.27]We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:55.31]And the Russians fire another round
[01:57.58]We get so near, yet so far away
[02:00.15]We were meant to fight another day
[02:02.61]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
[02:07.83]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
[02:14.11]
[03:17.91]We get so close, near enough to fight
[03:20.87]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:23.39]He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:26.19]A burst of rounds take my horse below
[03:28.89]And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:31.52]My body’s numb and my throat is dry
[03:34.13]And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:36.98]Without a tear, I draw my parting groan
[03:39.05]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, come on
[03:44.34]Oh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
