The Tiger Lillies
Palace By The Sea
Hear the serpents screaming
And know they will win
I see the storm clouds brewing
I feel an evil wind
And yet I keep on dreaming
Of calm waters and us free
I know the palace we are building
Will drown within the sea
And so the serpent tightens
His grip around our throat
So soon we will be gagging
How soon we will choke
And yet I can’t stop dreaming
That one day we will be free
And we will live eternal
In our palace by the sea
And so the serpent strangles
So certain is our fate
Our hands are ripped apart
As our last breath we take
And yet we keep on dreaming
We dream eternally
That we are in our palace
Our palace by the sea
