One Man War Band - Heaven-Shaking-Thunder Bombs Lyrics

Pounding hooves quake the earth

Light the fuse then launch and run
Heaven-Shaking-Thunder Bomb!

Arrows snap against its bulk

The horsemen soar over the cast iron ball
Unaware of the fuse burning short
The blast tears through armour and soldier and steed

Horseback forces succumb
To Heaven-Shaking-Thunder Bombs!

Battle clamour carries far
The air vibrates for miles around
Gods all fear the firestorm
Heaven-Shaking-Thunder Bombs!

Thunderclaps crash and the men turn to ash and the
Mingghans are slaughtered in droves
Grass slick with blood, muddy ditches are scorched
Corpses left charred by the
