Iron Mistress

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Iron Mistress, let me go Just a day an hour or so To touch the dreams I'll never know With your cold arms around me But do I want my liberty Out here on this shoreless sea I've even loved your jealousy Straight from the day you bound me [Verse 2] Iron Mistress, let me sleep Between the watches I must keep Let me know some other deep Than the stars to which you've thrown me Your silent mercy's ill-defined Lock me up inside my mind Cut me off from my own kind Such is the lovе you've shown me [Verse 3] My queen of darkness, morе than fair For your lover do you care? No human rival will you bear Sometimes allow a brother Iron lady, queen of strife You're my only home and wife You know I'm sworn to you for life Nor would I have another
