這首歌描述的是1854年克里米亞戰爭中一場名為Balaclava的戰役
有沒有這場戰役的八卦
還有為什麼要取名Iron maiden 有沒有八卦
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 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
你欲奪走我的生命，我也將奪走你的
你想用你的毛瑟對我開槍，但我將從你身上碾過
所以你在等待下次攻擊時
你最好有心理準備，因為你無法回頭
號角響起，突擊開始了
但在這戰場上是沒有贏家的
刺鼻的硝煙味和馬兒們的呼吸聲交雜
我投入了這生死一線間的地方
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race toward 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
馬兒帶著恐懼流汗，我們開始向前衝刺
一路上伴隨著俄國槍支的怒吼
當我們急速撞上人牆時，耳旁傳來我的弟兄們陣亡前痛苦的慘叫聲
我們艱辛的跨過地上的屍體繼續往前衝
然而俄國人再次對我們開火
我們離敵人如此近，卻又感覺敵人遙不可及
我們已沒有機會活命參加下次戰鬥了
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
敵我之間的距離已經近到足以直接交戰了
當我進入一個俄國士兵的視線時
他對我扣下板機，我感覺到子彈在爆炸
爆炸的威力使我的馬兒翻倒在地
當我躺在地上仰望天空時
我的身體已經麻木了，而且我的喉嚨乾燥
當我孤零零的被遺忘在戰場上時
沒有流淚，我嚥下了最後一口氣
