Track Insight / Lyrics
You wake up in a rusted hull
The morning air is thick and dull
You check the gauge and prime the gear
The smell of diesel brings the fear
Roll across the open plain
Steel and thunder, blood and rain
Lock the sight and let it fly
Underneath a copper sky
You crawl through brush and muddy clay
To keep the hidden foes at bay
A sudden flash, a metal scream
This ain't no peaceful Sunday dream
Roll across the open plain
Steel and thunder, blood and rain
Lock the sight and let it fly
Underneath a copper sky
The radio hums a static tune
Beneath a pale and ghostly moon
You spot a turret in the wheat
The heavy tread, the rhythmic beat
Tear the map and burn the bridge
Wait for signal on the ridge
One last shot to clear the way
Before the light turns into gray
Your armor's thin, your fuel is low
But there is nowhere left to go
You push the lever, feel the shake
The frozen ground begins to break
Roll across the open plain
Steel and thunder, blood and rain
Lock the sight and let it fly
Underneath a copper sky
The smoke clears out from every street
You feel the summer's heavy heat
You count the shells left in the rack
And pray the convoy makes it back
Roll across the open plain
Steel and thunder, blood and rain
Lock the sight and let it fly
Underneath a copper sky
Keep the engine humming loud
Walk away into the cloud
Iron horizon.
