IRON MAIDEN: THE GALACTIC TROOPER

Inspired by the above pic by MARK WELSER
I now need Iron Maiden to record a geeky
Star Wars
version of 'The Trooper':

THE GALACTIC TROOPER:


You take my life but I'll take yours too
You fire your blaster but I run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The alarm sounds - the Assault begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of ion smoke and Wampas breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!

The Taun Taun sweats with fear - we break to run
The mighty roar of the Rebels' guns
And as we race towards the frozen wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Rebels fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Rebels gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of laser takes my speeder 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.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!

Total AWESOME!

You should rewrite more epic songs into even more epic imperial songs.

And if Maiden is currently occupied, maybe that guy could help out:

Who did those paintings? I bought a print of one of those walker pics at Wizard World Chicago last year but I don't remember the artists name.

The flare signal pic is made by Benjamin Carré. Please feel free to look Jim´s post a few weeks back. Benjamin is a genius painter and deserves full attention ;)
