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 the shoreless sea I've even loved your jealousy Straight from the day you bound me. 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 mercies ill-defined Lock me up inside my mind Cut me off from my own kind Such is the love you've shown me. Queen of Darkness more than fair For your lover do you care No human rival will you bear Sometimes allow a brother. Iron Lady, Queen of Strife Your my only home and wife I know I'm bound to you for life Nor would I have another.
