LYRICS
IRON GODDESS
I am the iron Goddess
I know your name
Rusting on my axis
As the world spins round again
No prophecy
Could foretell me
Yet here I shall remain.
Passing down the ages
As galaxies ferment
Alchemy as it rages
Distilling my intent
No alibi
Or anaemic lie
The planets circumvent
I am the iron mother
Who beats inside your chest
Till you are torn asunder
Your metal to the test
This fools gold
Is eons old...
I am she
The ever free
The she who loves you best
I’ll draw you to your rest.
