Безумству храбрых поём мы песню
Пятая композиция (The Trooper) четвёртого студийного альбома хеви-метал группы Iron Maiden Piece of Mind посвящена Балаклавскому сражению. Текст песни описывает атаку лёгкой кавалерийской бригады англичан глазами британского кавалериста, который погибает от мушкетного выстрела русского пехотинца.

«Песня основана на Крымской войне, где британцы воевали против русских. Вступление — это попытка воссоздать галоп лошадей во время атаки легкой кавалерии. Это атмосферная песня.» — Стив Харрис

Крылья - The Trooper (Iron Maiden Cover)


Hellsongs - The Trooper (Iron Maiden cover)


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 as the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As you plunge into a 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 as 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 takes 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
