Lady Jack of Irons Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Listen to the bells, ringing out of time
All the carousels spinning in my mind
All the shattered days that are chasing after me
The memories of you still sing their lonesome melody
And your eyes are shrouds of mystery
I know it′s too late, baby
Cause our ship already sank
If it didn't, well, I swear by God
I′ll make you walk the plank
The ghosts of the ocean sing their songs for me
And for the kind of man I'm never gonna be
For the treasures lost that I never will fi nd
The outrageous cost saved for the criminal mind
Oh how could I have been so blind
I know it's too late, baby
Cause our ship already sank
If it didn′t, well, I swear by God
I′ll make you walk the plank
Spark the dying soul to dream a soldier's tale
The way you lose control, when things begin to fail


When the hawkers come to town and they′re selling
Souls for cheap
There's never a soul around when you′re drifting way
Too deep
While destroying everything you reap
I know it's too late, baby
Cause our ship already sank
If it didn′t, well, I swear by God
I'll make you walk the plank
When the silence comes I can almost hear you laugh
As you gaze upon the tragic aftermath
Like Jack of Irons you ride, like Jack of Irons you take
The fragments of your soul are all you leave left in
Your wake
While your soldiers are burning at the stake
I know it's too late, baby
Cause our ship already sank
If it didn′t, well, I swear by God
I′ll make you walk the plank
Come down from your mountain, I wanna see you
Close
Tell me what is it you fear of losing most
I wonder who you are or who you think that you've
Become
I know you′re pretty smart, but baby, I'm just not that
Dumb
That′s why I'm gonna overcome
I know it′s too late, baby
Cause our ship already sank
If it didn't, well, I swear by God
I'll make you walk the plank
Walk the plank
Go ahead
Go ahead, walk
Go ahead, walk
Go ahead, walk
Go ahead, go ahead
