The drill bit bites the frozen stone
I walk these hollow halls alone
The iron air is thick and cold
A story that the sensors told
Red clay rain on my glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain on my sight
Holding on to steady light
The ceiling drips a rusty hue
I miss the salt and ocean blue
The grinding gear begins to moan
Deep inside this desert zone
Red clay rain on my glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain on my sight
Holding on to steady light
My visor hides a crimson haze
I wander through a stony maze
The pressure gauge is climbing fast
I wonder if the seal will last
Red clay rain on my glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain on my sight
Holding on to steady light
Keep the lantern burning bright
Cutting through the Martian night
Scrub the grit from off the pane
Waiting for the wind and rain
I wipe the mud from off my face
Lost inside this hollow place
The beacon hums a lonely song
Where the tired men belong
Red clay rain on my glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain on my sight
Holding on to steady light
Red clay rain
Wash away the pain Steady light
Steady light
