Wrinkles and the mighty roar of the Russian guns

Under the monster riff of The Trooper by the almighty Iron Maiden, a tale of the Crimean War. A battle raged between the Russians and the Ottoman Empire.

Bleak and from the vision of a slain soldier, the song is partially based on The Charge of the Light Brigade. A poem by the long dead Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Never mind of course the fact that the Trooper himself looks like the sight of death. Wrinkles and the skin folding over itself like the battle weary effect it can hold.

Much like the inability of performance artist David Blaine to hold his breath for nine brain damaging minutes. After a week long stunt being Drowned Alive in a water bubble, Blaine emerged all wrinkly and unable to top off the spectacle.

And wrinkles? Far more than just falling asleep in the bath.
