Grey sky holds a heavy weight
Soldiers march to meet their fate
Cold wind bites the iron skin
Where the bloody wars begin
One brass helmet in the clay
Watching all the light decay
Thunder rolls across the plain
Washing out the copper stain
Leather straps are torn and old
Stories that will stay untold
Boots are sinking in the mire
Walking through a ring of fire
One brass helmet in the clay
Watching all the light decay
Thunder rolls across the plain
Washing out the copper stain
Distant booms shake every bone
Leaving every man alone
Silver coins in pockets deep
While the tired armies sleep
One brass helmet in the clay
Watching all the light decay
Thunder rolls across the plain
Washing out the copper stain
Crows descend to take a peek
At the metal cold and sleek
Raindrops hit the polished rim
As the golden daylight dim
One brass helmet in the clay
Watching all the light decay
Thunder rolls across the plain
Washing out the copper stain
Steel in the mud.
Just a copper stain.
