Palace for the Insane Lyrics


Music: Nathan Sadd, Chris Williams

Lyrics: Chris Martin

Guest Vocals: Jae Hadley

To build a house anew upon an isle

Walls of wickedness, depravity, and sin

Hands that follow the minds and hearts that lead

Mistress mad to bend to every whim

We curse this house, enter now and leave behind the old

We curse this house, enter now and be reborn to the fold

Ritual, spiritual, bestial, Satan

The bleakest fortress he defines

Minds under his spell

The walls awash with the manuscript

The gateway straight to Hell

Welcome to his nightmare

A palace built for the insane

Break away from mortal chains

Solo: Sadd

Cutting loose from tiring convention

To feel alive, debauchery and lust

Find the gateway, amphetamines, and drink

Devil driven when needs must

Possess her mind

Recite the ritual, bestow to heer a gift

Posses her mind

Dreams and images, a curse he cannot lift

Ritual, spiritual, bestial, Satan

The bleakest fortress he defines

Minds under his spell

The walls awash with the manuscript

The gateway straight to Hell

Welcome to his nightmare

A palace built for the insane

Break away from mortal chains

Solo: Sadd

Solo: Martin

Incarcerated by the church and by the state

Your whole life has been a lie

Freedom found in spiritual sin

Break away from your suffering

Step inside the abbey of your nightmares

Soak in cognac, cunt, and cocaine

Do what thou wilt, a maker of law

Creeping further into your brain

Insane the palace of the insane
