THE TROOPER <<<----------->>> IRON MAIDEN -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ (C) Iron Maiden (Holdings) Ltd -> 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<<<----------->>>IRON MAIDEN -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- (C) Iron Maiden (Holdings) Ltd -> 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. DIE WITH YOUR BOOTS ON<<<--------->>>IRON MAIDEN -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- (C) Iron Maiden (Holdings) Ltd -> Die With Your Boots On (Smith/Dickinson/Harris) 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.
