Lyrics

Bilingual
You'll take my life but I'll take it too
You'll fire a bucket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You better stand, there's no turning back
The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of babies smoking hard as breath
As I plunge amid the sudden death
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Come on, let it down, sing it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The harsh wind and the very great 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 hide our bodies in the underground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
One breath to fight another day
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And come on
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We get so close to the end of the fight
When a Russian hits me in the face
He pulls the trigger, I feel the blow
I fall to ground and moan for help
As I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb, my throat is dry
As I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my blood to the bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Come on now, one more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
