THE TROOPER <<<----------->>> IRON MAIDEN

-> The Trooper (Harris)
|
||
|
||
You'll take my life but I'll take your too
|
||
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
|
||
So when you're waiting for the next attact
|
||
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 he breaks 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 sight
|
||
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 as my throat is dry
|
||
And as I lay forgotten and alone
|
||
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

-> Flight of Icarus (Smith/Dickinson)
|
||
|
||
As the sun breaks, above the ground,
|
||
An old man stands on the hill.
|
||
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
|
||
A birdsong shatters the still.
|
||
|
||
His eyes are ablaze,
|
||
See the madman in his gaze.
|
||
|
||
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
|
||
Fly as high as the sun,
|
||
On your way, like an eagle,
|
||
Fly and touch the sun.
|
||
|
||
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
|
||
Looks the old man in the eye
|
||
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
|
||
In the name of God my father I fly.
|
||
|
||
His eyes seem so glazed
|
||
As he Flies on the wings of a dream.
|
||
Now he knows his father betrayed
|
||
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
|
||
|
||
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
|
||
Fly as high as the sun,
|
||
|
||
On your way, like an eagle,
|
||
Fly as high as the sun.

Another Prophet of Disaster
|

Who says the ship is lost,
|
||
Another Prophet of Disaster
|
||
Leaving you to count the cost.
|

Taunting us with Visions,
|
||
Afflicting us with fear,
|
||
Predicting War for millions,
|
||
In the hope that one appears.
|
||
|
||
No point asking when it is,
|
||
No point asking who's to go,
|
||
No point asking what's the game,
|
||
No point asking who's to blame.
|
||
'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die.
|
||
'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die.
|
||
|
||
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on,
|
||
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
|
||
Gonna cry, just move around,
|
||
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
|

|
||
In 13 the Beast is Rising
|
||
The Frenchman did surmise,
|
||
Through earthquakes and starvation,
|
||
The Warlord will arise.
|
||
Terror, Death, Desruction,
|
||
Pour from the Eastern sands,
|
||
But the truth of all predictions,
|
||
Is always in your hands.
|
||
|
||
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on,
|
||
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
|
||
Gonna cry, just move along,
|
||
If your gonna die, you're gonna die.
