Palace By the Sea - The Tiger Lillies

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
