Lyrics

Palace of the Paramour



1. Rainy nights in Babylon
Summer air so sweet
A wanton woman found
Echoes of the carillon
Mingled with the heat
Her beauty calls me now.

Should I stay or should I go
From the palace to the paramour
Love forbidden, unforetold
If I dare to step into that door

Should I stay or should I go
The battle raging In my heart will overflow
And after all the years
and all the tears
I should've known
No one ever escapes
When salacious seeds are sown.

2. Sinful secrets lead to lies
Duplicity will pave the way for alibis
Hidden things will come to light
With so much left to lose
someone may have to die.

Should I stay or should I go
Silence the threat
No one will ever know
And with my subterfuge complete
There's no shadow hanging over me.

(Chorus)
Should I stay or should I go
The battle raging
In my heart will overflow
And after all the years
and all the tears
I should've known
No one ever escapes
When salacious seeds are sown.

Passion unrestrained
Flying closely to the flame
Consequence is sure to come.
Call it karma. Call it fate
We can't escape
what we have done.

Should I stay or should I go
The battle raging
In my heart will overflow
And after all the years
and all the tears
I should've known
No one ever escapes
When salacious seeds are sown.
