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, the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins Smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath As I plunge on into certain death ♪ Chile! ♪ The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns As we race towards the human wall Screams of pain, my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round Get so near, so far away Won't live to fight another day ♪ We get so close, near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights Pulls the trigger, I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below As I lay there gazing at the sky Body's numb and the throat is dry As I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan
