[length: 04:02]
[00:36.98]You’ll take my life but I’ll take yours too
[00:39.65]You’ll fire your musket but I’ll run you through
[00:42.12]So when you’re waiting for the next attack
[00:44.80]You’d better stand, there’s no turning back
[00:47.55]The bugle sounds, the charge begins
[00:50.31]On this battlefield no one wins
[00:53.27]Smell of acrid smoke and horses’ breath
[00:55.71]I plunge on into certain death
[01:01.86]And Tokyo!
[01:03.47]
[01:30.58]The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
[01:33.19]Mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:35.87]As we race towards the human wall
[01:38.40]Screams of pain, my comrades fall
[01:41.13]Hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:43.71]And the Russians fire another round
[01:46.21]Get so near, so far away
[01:48.98]Won’t live to fight another day
[01:51.27]
[03:05.40]We get so close, near enough to fight
[03:07.95]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:10.65]Pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:13.45]A burst of rounds take my horse below
[03:15.95]As I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:18.78]Body’s numb, throat is dry
[03:21.22]As I lay forgotten and alone
[03:23.82]Without a tear I draw my parting groan
[03:29.53]And Tokyo!
