[00:36.96]You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
[00:39.66]You’ll fire your musket, but I’ll run you through
[00:42.12]So when you’re waiting for the next attack
[00:44.85]You’d better stand, there’s no turning back
[00:47.53]The bugle sounds, the charge begins
[00:50.32]But on this battlefield, no one wins
[00:53.24]The smell of acrid smoke and horses’ breath
[00:55.70]As I plunge on into certain death, oh, oh
[01:30.50]The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
[01:33.11]The mighty roar of the Russian guns
[01:35.82]And as we race towards the human wall
[01:38.43]The screams of pain as my comrades fall
[01:41.19]We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
[01:43.78]And the Russians fire another round
[01:46.27]We get so near, yet so far away
[01:48.95]We were meant to fight another day, oh, oh
[03:05.40]We get so close, near enough to fight
[03:07.93]When a Russian gets me in his sights
[03:10.64]He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
[03:13.46]A burst of rounds take my horse below
[03:15.99]And as I lay there gazing at the sky
[03:18.78]My body’s numb and my throat is dry
[03:21.20]And as I lay forgotten and alone
[03:23.89]Without a tear, I draw my parting groan, oh, oh
