The Trooper by Iron Maiden

You'll take my (1)________ but I'll (2)________ yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the (3)________ attack
You'd (4)____________ stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the (5)____________ begins
But on this (6)______________________ no one wins
The (7)__________ of acrid (8)__________ and horses breath
As I (9)____________ on into (10)______________ death.

The (11)__________ he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty (12)________ of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the (13)__________ wall
The screams of (14)________ as my comrades fall

We (15)____________ bodies (16)________ lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so (17)________ yet so far away
We (18)________ meant to (19)__________ another day.

We get so (20)__________ near enough to fight
When a (21)______________ 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 (22)____________ at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay (23)__________________ and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
