Dark Company: Suns Set (alpha mix)

Suns Set, by Dark Company. From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album, 'A for Acronym'. SUNS SET I'm waiting for the nite to come... I'm waiting for the nite to come... I'm waiting for the nite to come... I'm waiting for the nite to come... In the red rays of a dying sun I'm waiting for the nite to come Booming surf across the bay Metal waves rolling night and day Canisters marked with skull and bones Click against the shoreline stones What will be in the days ahead Will it be armies of the living dead What will be there when the sun comes up Will there ever be a loving touch On the wine of evening airs Gaudy music of war-torn fairs Roundabout of skeletal frames Going round and round again In my ears calliopes sound A new age gets off the ground What will be in the days ahead Will it be armies of the living dead What will be there when the sun comes up Will there ever be a loving touch You should seek other countries Choose your friends more carefully The leading kings of foreign lands Your destiny is within their hands You seek justice of lasting peace Violence is all you meet What will be in the days ahead Will it be armies of the living dead What will be there when the sun comes up Will there ever be a loving touch Lyrics by P.

Performers: ‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – vocals Zakk Black – guitars, vocals Josh Reynes – synths Maxx Damage – bass Sven Stiglund – drums Fun Facts: * The lyrics for this song were written 25th June 2009. * Dark Company used the DSK Analog Matrix synth for three of the keyboard sounds (https://www.dskmusic.com/). * Two of them are big pad sounds that play in unison, with shared heavy reverb and flange, so are hard to tell apart. * The lead guitar parts are played on the Ice Maiden, as is the rhythm guitar part to the right. * The rhythm guitar to the left is Nicodemus. * Pete simply couldn’t remember the vocal melody for this, so a unison guitar was tracked to help him along. * Dark Company ditched the unison guitar parts where Pete is singing and used it in the solo. * It’s the filthy dirty one that always seems to sound slightly surprised. * Pete wrote this before various members of Wud Records left the uk and, like many of his other lyrics, it turned out to be extraordinarily prophetic.
