lyrics

When the night comes to me, I close my weary eyes
To the dreamworld, I know that I must go
She’s waiting for me, in her castle in the sky
But there’s a mighty maze of hazards to surmount

Deeper I descend in the caves of mystery
Keepers of the earth protecting me
Guided by the light
Through the hollows dark as night
Be still my beating heart

Up above I ascend, flee the monsters of the deep
But in the cold light of day, it’s much the same
Over land, over sea, through the corridors I race
In the distance, the lady she awaits

Floating in the sky, got to find a way to fly
The palace pink, its gates are open wide
Guided to the air by the dragon’s flailing wings
Be still my beating heart

Palace in the sky - palace in the air
I’m strolling through the gates
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
My lady there she waits
This is my chance to save her
Save her from this brutal game…

So begins the final stage
My motivation right before me
Princess in the tower up above
Through the door and down the hall
Avoid the snoozing orcs and ogres
Princess just another level up

The guards are slow
“Catch me if you can!”
Not far to go
“Catch me if you can!”

And up the stairs I glide until I reach the top
The antechamber grand, the final space to cross

In the dreamworld
In the dream
I’m exactly who I want to be
And so I play
Play the game
Till I find her and I set her free

Through the chamber
Through the hall
I can see the glow beneath the door
And in I go
The game is up
I’m the saviour of the land again

Princess
Found you
Come with me it’s time to leave this place…

Palace in the sky - palace in the air
We’re strolling through the gates
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
We’re free

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Monument

2 1/4 hrs long—Monumental indeed! I’ve played both versions of The Clover Suite back-to-back & think the redone more epic, more guitar-driven, & more embellished with effects. IMO, it sounds better now in it’s new, blended, conceptual home. There’s a lot of prog rock/metal to absorb here with lots of climactic solos & ‘drifting in space’ moments. Put your helmet on & ... 🚀... to where no man has gone before! This is truly an EPIC trip! Thank you, Majestic! 👏 9.5/10 👏 Alrihkh

Truths, Lies & Half Lies
by Mr So & So

supported by 6 fans who also own “Palace in the Sky”

It appears I've arrived late to the Mr So & So party, for which I can only beg forgiveness, but after seeing 'The Dave' at a Steve Rothery gig last year I decided to check them out. Wow!!! 'Paperchase' blew me away with it's melodies, harmonies and genuine rock! Having now had a chance to digest the rest of this album it is now in danger of being worn out! I can hear snippets of Yes, Tori Amos and Van Halen in here, but the overall muse isn't any of them, it's Mr So & So, and it's great!!! Christopher Brammer
