Iron Hand

In the fields lush with gold

The sweat runneth over her body

Close her eyes as she wonders why she feels

Like she's rotting

She knows there's something better

He always slammed the door

And now the tears fall, they fall to the floor

He thinks he's something better

Than anyone can hate

Believes a man this could make

With an iron hand, he rules the land

A dark brutal fist that condemned her

The sands in time that rule the mind

How can I keep her safe, and alive

The legends tell of beloved sin

The altar of sacred hearts lost deep within

The sun will shine in her eyes

That's open wide, like a mirror

The strips are cut with leather

Deepens her wounds much more

The sadness so deep the tears never fall

Now forced to choose his future

Between the love and hate

He's still the man that's been holding her fate

With an iron hand, he rules the land

A dark brutal fist that condemned her

The sands in time that rule the mind

How can I keep her safe, and alive

Holy Father, I confess

For her love, which I profess

Holy Father, there's no sin

Without my throne, can I live?

If he were gone, and I would reign

No longer would we feel the pain

But how can I deceive the throne

That holds my flesh and bone

The tears rolling down her face

The blood is spilled from her body

There is a day that I will pray

That sends the hand embracing her his way

My thoughts cannot touch her, I fear for her life

The blood, the pain that's in his heart, I cannot tell a lie

With an iron hand, he rules the land

A dark brutal fist that condemned her

The sands in time that rule the mind

How can I keep her safe, and alive

With an iron hand, he rules the land

A dark brutal fist that condemned her

The sands in time that rule the mind

How can I keep her safe?
