以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Have you seen the iron lady's charms
你可曾见过铁娘子的威严
Legs of steel leather on her arms
钢铁之躯 双臂覆皮鞭
Takin' on a man to die
审判凡人赴黄泉
A life for a life an eye for an eye
以命抵命 以眼还眼
And that's the iron lady in the chair
这便是电椅上的铁面判官
Stop the murder deter the crimes away
制止谋杀 震慑罪愆
Only killing shows killing doesn't pay
唯有杀戮证杀戮不值钱
Yes that's the kind of law it takes
这就是律法昭彰的体现
Even though we make mistakes
即便我们也会犯错
And sometimes send the
有时误将无辜者
Wrong man to the chair
送上电椅处决
In the death row waiting for their turn
死囚们静候轮到自己
No time to change
没有改过的机会
Not a chance to learn
更无反省的余地
Waiting for someone to call
等待有人宣告
Say it's over after all
一切终将落幕
They won't have to face
他们不必面对
The justice of the chair
电椅的审判
Just before they serve
就在行刑之前
Him one last meal
递上最后一餐
Shave his head oh
剃光他的头发
They ask him how he feels
询问他的感受
Then the warden
随后典狱长
Comes to say goodbye
前来道别
Reporters come to watch him die
记者们前来见证他的死亡
Watch him as he's
注视着他被
Strapped into the chair
绑上电椅的模样
And the chaplain
而牧师
He reads the final prayer
正诵读最后的祷文
Be brave my son
勇敢些 我的孩子
The Lord is waiting there
主正在彼岸等候
Oh murder is so wrong you see
你看 杀戮是如此罪恶
Both the Bible and the courts agree
圣经与法庭皆认同
That the state's allowed to murder in the chair
国家有权以电椅处决生命
In the courtroom
法庭之上
Watch the balance of the scales
见证天平的倾斜
If the price is right
若代价足够
There's time for more appeals
便可争取更多上诉时机
The strings are pulled the switch is stayed
幕后操纵 暂缓行刑
The finest lawyers fees are paid
最昂贵的律师费已付清
And a rich man's never died upon the chair
富人从未坐上这电椅赴死
Have you seen the iron lady's charms
你可曾见过铁娘子的威严
Legs of steel leather on her arms
钢铁之躯 双臂覆皮鞭
Takin' on a man to die
审判凡人赴黄泉
A life for a life an eye for an eye
以命抵命 以眼还眼
And that's the iron lady in the chair
这便是电椅上的铁面判官
