The drill bit bites the frozen stone
I work this hollow shaft alone
The iron beam begins to shake
The heavy ceiling starts to break
Red clay rain on the visor glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain falling from the height
Turning every gold day white
The grit is thick inside my glove
A million miles from any love
I scrub the lens to see the way
Through the thick and heavy grey
Red clay rain on the visor glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain falling from the height
Turning every gold day white
The oxygen is running low
The pressure gauge is starting to glow
I keep the lamp against the wall
Waiting for the rock to fall
Red clay rain on the visor glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain falling from the height
Turning every gold day white
The rust is eating through the seal
I feel the spinning of the wheel
One more spark in the deep black hole
The heavy weight takes every toll
I remember salt and crashing seas
The wind that rattled through the trees
Now I breathe this Martian sand
Holding onto a broken hand
Red clay rain on the visor glass
Watching all the hours pass
Red clay rain falling from the height
Turning every gold day white
Just red clay rain
Falling down again
Red clay rain
