Iron Maiden - The Trooper Lyrics






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

The Bugle sounds and 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

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
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

We get so close near enough to fight
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

    Gran cancion lastima que en latinoamerica la gente escucha solo mierda como despacito y algunas partes del mundo fuera de latinoamerica

    Pero siempre habra fanaticos del heavy metal en todo el mundo y no es una moda

    Aguante el heavy metal y sus subgéneros

    Aguante iron maiden,metallica,megadeth,slayer,judas priest,quiet riot,led zeppellin,deep purple,black sabbath,sodom,kreator y demas bandas que son mejores que el trap,pop,reggaeton,K-pop y demas mierda

    A.... D....

    Aguante el heavy waacho!

    A.... D....

    Concuerdo contigo pero el kpop no es una mierda amigo es solo que no estamos acostumbrados a escuchar música y de esa manera ver bailar a los cantantes

    Y hay muchas personas que el racismo ya es nomal, si fuesen de Estados Unidos seguro la cosa sería diferente.

    En Corea por el trato que la mayoría le da, no hay diferencia con el racismo de haya contra nosotros solo por faltar al respeto género de música coreana.

    A.... D....

    Cada uno con sus gustos bro

    I was listening to this masterpiece while playing Battlefront II, and the mach literally ended when the song ended. Epic :)!

  41. S.... K....

    This is the kind heavy metal you play when stomping around in heavy metal. Perfect Mechwarrior music.

  42. J.... L....

    after so many years, they are still a weak version of Black Sabbath with WAY less credibility (anywhere outside of the nationalized UK music mindset)

  43. Y.... B....

    You could play this and.the fire would get out

  44. s.... k....

    Best video https://youtu.be/NLkCdIZUNY4

  45. Y.... Y....

    their other songs are just different shade of Hallowed Be Thy Name

  46. F.... L....

    I hate metal as much as metallica, black sabbath and other metal greatest bands but when it comes to Iron Maiden.. holy fuck its fucking epic.

  47. T.... ....
