You'll take my life but I'll take yours, tooYou'll fire your musket but I'll run you throughSo when you're waiting for the next attackYou'd better stand, there's no turning backThe bugle sounds, the charge beginsBut on this battlefield, no one winsThe smell of acrid smoke and horses' breathAs I plunge on into certain deathOhOhThe horse he sweats with fear, we break to runThe mighty roar of the Russian gunsAnd as we race towards the human wallThe screams of pain as my comrades fallWe hurdle bodies that lay on the groundAnd the Russians fire another roundWe get so near yet so far awayWe won't live to fight another dayOhOhWe get so close, near enough to fightWhen a Russian gets me in his sightsHe pulls the trigger and I feel the blowA burst of rounds take my horse belowAnd as I lay there gazing at the skyMy body's numb and my throat is dryAnd as I lay forgotten and aloneWithout a tear I draw my parting groanOhOhLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Stephen Percy Harris | Lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Universal Music Publishing Group

Intro

You'll take my life but I'll take yours, too

Verse

You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back

Chorus

The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield, no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath
As I plunge on into certain death
Oh
Oh

Instrumental

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run

Verse

The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day
Oh

Instrumental

Oh
We get so close, near enough to fight

Chorus

When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
Oh
Oh
