So when you're waiting for the next attack
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
But on this battlefield no one wins
We won't live to fight another day
And as I lay forgotten and alone
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
We get so near yet so far away
And as we race towards the human wall
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
And as the Russians fire another round
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
A burst of rounds takes my horse below
We get so close near enough to fight
As you plunge into a certain death
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
You'd better stand there's no turning back
When a Russian gets me in his sights
My body's numb and my throat is dry
