about

lyrics

Come see the show
You’ll thank me when it’s done

This spectacle
Has top bill where I’m from

((Blown from a gun!! X 3) (Blown!!!)) X 2

Take my advise
And don’t you stand too close

‘Cause with this fire
We’ll watch a man explode

((Blown from a gun X 3) (Blown!!!)) X 2

Bring him to the front
Strap him to the gun
Hello gentlemen
The main event’s begun

The wick has now been lit
Get ready this is it
In 1857
It’s the country’s biggest hit

Cannon sounds
Legs drop dwon
Guts fly out
All around
Spraying blood
Like a flood
Head shoots up
Man erupts

Sprayed in blood the stink surrounds
of what was once a man
Shooting out in all directions
15 meter span
Burning flesh is caught by ravens
‘fore it reaches ground
The blast starts your ears ringing and then
that’s the only sound

Sepoys are rebelling and that’s
why we came to town
7,000 kilometers
hunt deserters sown
Tis the fate of anyone who
Disobeys the crown
Blown to bits, evaporated
