The Trooper by Iron Maiden

You'll (1)________ my (2)________ but I'll take (3)__________ too
You'll fire your (4)____________ but I'll run you through
So (5)________ you're waiting for the next attack

When a (20)______________ gets me in his sights
He (21)__________ the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of (22)____________ (23)________ my (24)__________ below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my (25)____________ is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a (26)________ I (27)________ my parting groan
