Iron Mistress
Leslie Fish
[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
