You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too.
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through.
While you're waiting for the next attack.
You’d better stand, there's no turning back.
The bugle sounds, the charge begins.
But on this battlefield, no one wins.
An acrid smell of smoke and horse's breath.
As I plunge into certain death.
My horse sweats with fear, we break to run.
Towards the roar of their smoking guns.
And as we race towards the human wall.
I hear the screams as my comrades fall.
We hurdle bodies scattered on the ground.
Then they fire another round.
We get so near, yet so far away.
And we won't live to fight another day.
We get so close, near enough to fight.
When that bastard gets me in his sights.
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow.
A burst of rounds takes my horse below.
And now I lay, staring at the sky.
My body’s numb and my throat is dry
I am forgotten and alone.
Without a tear, I draw my parting groan.
