l'orange & mr. lif - a palace in the sky lyrics

[verse 1: mr. lif]
as the king sat in his robe, holding the globe
which he kept as a pet, always claiming as a threat
he would alter cause and alter falter to keep us in check
he said he’d crush our world, the galaxy is just a spec
in the corner of his far-reaching, overreaching
everlasting power, never overthrown by cowards
but the gods didn’t look upon this fondly, they called him tawdry
as they observed him, they would notice while they’re watching
he would spend hours holding his globe
hoping to discover other factions he could overthrow
this comic offense incensed the mystics, plus the spirits
who had died fighting for his causes, the human losses
such a dangerous territory to tread
when you’ve upset both the balance of the living and the dead
they wanted his head, but found the violence too swift
a plan was then devised to they could send him adrift

[verse 2: mr. lif]
so the gods gathered
and they conceptualized the king’s demise
they planned to put his palace in the skies
in the form of vapor, a disappearing act caper
a wonder of the world, it’s inexplicable by nature
everyday a different brick in the walls evaporated
the first man to notice it was fascinated
but then his heart palpitated, panic wriggled through the kingdom
the mystics start to sing, “this is what fate would bring the king”
the mystics didn’t live long after that
many inhabitants had left this haunted habitat
and though the edifice was sick, the ruler wouldn’t budge a lick
cause it was clear that he was clinging to his gravitas

[verse 3: mr. lif]
months p-ssed by, and one morning he opened his eye
to see no ceiling in his chambers, just a view of the sky
the walls were gone, the shades were drawn inside his mind
but now he’s got no choice but to view the other side of the blinds
what he finds is a world without his reign, pure pain
the mighty ruler walking with a cane
with miles of lush hills before him, and gr-ss is their decorum
he screamed, “why!?” and the skies did ignore him
he asked once again, but the world had resigned
no signs. his time holding hands with time
with an eternity to breath and no chance to ever leave
he got lost in the mirage of his reprieve
