The House Above the Sea

High upon a cliff
Sits the house above the sea
Where generations live and die
In the house above the sea
Family matters
In the house above the sea
Though true it is
That family strife is rife
In the house above the sea
Secrets lie hidden
In the house above the sea
Death lurks through hidden doors
And behind false panels
In the house above the sea
Enter if you dare
The house above the sea
Guests are always welcome
In the house above the sea
Even if some of those guests never leave
The house above the sea
