Tempest - Iron Lady

Have you seen the Iron Lady's charms?
Legs of steel, and leather on her arms,
Taking on a man to die,
A life for a life, an eye for an eye,
And death's the Iron Lady in a chair.

Stop the murders, deter the crimes away,
Only killing shows killing doesn't pay.
Oh, that's the kind of law it takes,
Even though we make mistakes,
And sometimes send the wrong man to the chair.

In the death row waiting for their turn
No time to change, not a chance to learn
Waiting for someone to call
Say it's over after all
They won't have to face the justice of the chair

Just before they serve him one last meal,
Shave his head, they ask him how he feels,
Then the warden comes to say goodbye,
Reporters come to watch him die,
Watch him as he's srtapped into the chair,

And the chaplain, he reads the final prayer,
''Be brave my son, the Lord is waiting there.
Oh, murder is so wrong you see,
Both the Bible and the courts agree''
That's the state's allowed to murder in the chair.

In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales,
If the price is right, there's time for more appeals,
And the string are pulled, the switch is stayed.
The finest lawyers' fees are paid,
And a rich man never die upon the chair.

Oh, have you seen the Iron Lady's charms?
Legs of steel, and leather on her arms.
Taking on a man to die,
A life for a life, an eye for an eye.
And death's the Iron Lady in a chair.

Oh, death's the Iron Lady in a chair.

In a chair,
In a chair,
In a chair,
In a chair,
In a chair,
In a chair.
