The Wench
Ironsword Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such beauty never seen before
Her smile a gift from Bel and Ishtar
I cannot bear any more
Be my wench tonight
And I'll make you my queen
Be my slave tonight
She's just waiting to please me
The woman begs to be fed
Now your body belongs to me
At my command she kisses my hand
Be my wench tonight
And I'll make you my queen
Be my slave tonight
Then I'll set you free
My eyes ablaze, all I do is take
Black lotus and rum takes us high
She moans with pleasure over and over
Let's burn away the night
Be my wench tonight
And I'll make you my queen
Be my slave tonight
Then I'll set you free
In Ironsword's song "The Wench," the lyrics talk about a woman who is a whore in Shadizar. The singer in the song describes her beauty as never seen before and attributes her smile to Bel and Ishtar, two Babylonian deities. However, the singer cannot bear this any longer and asks her to be his wench. In the song, the term wench is used to denote a woman who serves or entertains men for money or other benefits. The singer is offering to treat her like a queen for a night if she agrees to be his wench.
Throughout the song, there is a power dynamic between the singer and the woman. The woman is described to be waiting to please the singer and begs to be fed. The singer controls her body and commands her to kiss his hand. The lyrics suggest that they engage in sexual activities fueled by black lotus and rum. In the end, the singer promises to set her free if she becomes his slave for the night.
"The Wench" by Ironsword is a song that speaks about the exploitation of women and the power dynamics that exist in such relationships. The use of the term wench, the description of the woman as a whore, and the singer's ownership of her body, are all indications of this. The song warns against the dangers of objectifying women and highlights the need to treat them with respect and dignity.
