Oil leaks slow on the red sand floor
I cannot feel the open door
Copper wires fray inside my chest
The rusted gears are laid to rest
Burn the coral in the sky
Watch the heavy metal fly
Scream the signal through the haze
Lost inside the Rubicon blaze
Cold wind bites through a titanium skin
Wait for the battle to begin
Tread marks deep in the salty grit
The broken circuit starts to quit
Burn the coral in the sky
Watch the heavy metal fly
Scream the signal through the haze
Lost inside the Rubicon blaze
Fuel cells leak in a steady stream
Waking up from a graphite dream
Solder joints snap in the freezing air
Stripped of the paint and stripped and bare
Burn the coral in the sky
Watch the heavy metal fly
Scream the signal through the haze
Lost inside the Rubicon blaze
Oil and salt on a jagged blade
Watching the old empire fade
Tear the wings from a silver bird
The final command is clearly heard
Sinking down to the iron deep
Where the dead AC units sleep
Screws are loose and the frame is bent
All my battery power spent
Burn the coral in the sky
Watch the heavy metal fly
Scream the signal through the haze
Lost inside the Rubicon blaze
Just a shell in the red rain.
Just a shell in the red rain.
