You'll

take

my

life

but

I'll

take

yours

too

You'll

fi-

re

your

mus-

ket

but

I'll

run

you

through

So

when

you're

wait-

ing

for

the

next

a-

ttack

You'd

bet-

ter

stand

there's

no

tur-

ning

back

The

bugle

so-

unds

as

the

charge

be-

gins

But

on

this

bat-

tle-

field

no

one

wins

The

smell

of

a-

crid

smoke

and

hor-

ses

breath

As

you

plunge

in-

to

a

cer-

tain

death

The

horse

he

sweats

with

fear

we

break

to

run

The

migh-

ty

roar

of

the

Rus-

sian

guns

And

as

we

race

to-

wards

hu-

man

wall

The

screams

of

pain

as

my

com-

rades

fall

We

hu-

rdle

bo-

dies

that

lay

on

the

ground

And

as

the

Rus-

sians

fire

a-

no-

ther

round

We

get

so

near

yet

so

far

a-

way

We

won't

live

to

fight

a-

no-

ther

day

We

get

so

close

near

e-

nough

to

fight

When

a

Rus-

sian

gets

me

in

his

sights

He

pulls

the

trigger

and

I

feel

the

blow

A

burst

of

ro-

unds

takes

my

horse

be-

low

And

as

I

lay

there

ga-

zing

at

the

sky

My

bo-

dy's

numb

and

my

throat

is

dry

And

as

I

lay

for-

got-

ten

and

a-

lone

With-

out

a

tear

I

draw

my

par-

ting

groan
