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
