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
The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath
As I plunge on into certain death

The horse, he sweats with fear, we break 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 sights
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 and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear, I draw my parting groan

As a Maiden fan since 1980, this is the best cover of this song by far I`ve ever heard.

Once a metal classic, always a metal classic ❤ As usual, you knocked it out of park, ErikThe rest of the gang killed it, too! Thanks for what you do, it's an honor and a privilege to follow you on this journey 🥰

[asianhooker]

Of course he nailed it! He nails everything he sings.🤘🤘 Just excellent!

[joahom]

Covering a Maiden tune is gutsy, considering Dickinson's range. Naturally, Erik and his co-conspirators pull it off like a walk in the park. Awesome! 🤘🏻😊🇸🇪
