Dan Vasc (ft. Victor The Guitar Nerd) - "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, 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, oh, oh

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 were meant to fight another day, oh, oh

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, oh, oh

Ο Dan Vasc (Daniel Vasconcelos) μας έρχεται από την Βραζιλία. Πρόκειται για τον τραγουδιστή των Fearless, ενώ μέχρι πρότινος ήταν ο frontman των Orion's Reign. Συν τοις άλλοις διατηρεί κανάλι στο You Tube, στο οποίο "ανεβάζει" φωνητικές διασκευές σε metal (κι όχι μόνο) τραγούδια. Ανάμεσά τους και το τραγούδι των Iron Maiden, "The Trooper" (από τον δίσκο των Βρετανών metallers "Piece of Mind" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Μάιο του 1983)...

Dan Vasc: «Hail, traveler! I am Dan Vasc, musician hailing from South America. Honored to meet you! I upload my music videos, mostly vocal covers and occasional originals. My favorite music styles are rock, metal and its sub-genres, specially power metal. But you will occasionally see here also other styles like Broadway musicals and classical opera, which I enjoy to sing as well.»
