One Man War Band - Cutting the Yam Lines Lyrics

Relay system serving prime
Running crucial news to the front line
Thousands of miles, are traversed, within days and back

Campaign on foreign ground
Ill-timed demise befalls the Khan
Two brothers, far away, declare for the khanate
War campaign is deferred, the armies turning back home

Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
On which they once relied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
Rendering their foe blind
Cutting the yam lines
Racing against time
Chance to resist denied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
The silent horde descends

Seasoned veterans of campaign
Charge to challenge the new Khan of the plains
Outriders riding ahead of the pack
Taking the yam outposts, silencing resistance
One hundred and twenty thousand warriors
Three hundred thousand mounts, journeying undetected

Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
On which they once relied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
Rendering their foe blind
Cutting the yam lines
Racing against time
Chance to resist denied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
The silent horde descends

Running them down
Taking them out
Separate the world

Isolate
Disengage
Communication
Dissipates

Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
On which they once relied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
Rendering their foe blind
Cutting the yam lines
Racing against time
Chance to resist denied
Cutting the yam lines (Cutting the yam lines)
The silent horde descends
