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

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.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
