Sunset On The Golden Age marks one of Alstrom’s most serious songs, as it is is about the end of the Golden Age of Pyracy. Many fans also mark it as the point where Alestorm started making more “silly” songs.
[Verse 1]
Inside of aeons from chaotic spires, a shell of frozen time
Where beats the silent ocean of shadows turned sublime
Forces of inspiring luminescence guide the hidden way
I know that it will take me to another golden age
[Verse 2]
Sundered from daylight by the rage of the unseen
Betwixt carbonic plateaus where rarity convenes
Under the heat of a thousand suns destruction is attained
When flows the red and ochre histories ingrained
[Verse 3]
Legends pass and time ticks on, entropy prevails
Into the endless darkness every ship must sail
Ouroboros uncoiled, the circle ends tonight
One thousand years of history banished from all sight
[Chorus]
The sun will set forever
Never to rise again
And in the coming darkness
We‘ll fight to the bitter end
Our legend passed from memory
It‘s time to turn the page
The sun has set upon the golden age
[Verse 4]
The final chapter, the end is close at hand
Across the boundary where ocean meets the sand
Embrace the en' of time, forsake all that you know
The tenebrous cosmic sphere where all of us must go
[Chorus]
The sun will set forever
Never to rise again
And in the coming darkness
We‘ll fight to the bitter end
Our legend passed for memory
It‘s time to turn the page
The sun has set upon the golden age
[Bridge]
Inside of aeons from chaotic spires, a shell of frozen time
Where beats the silent ocean of shadows turned sublime
Forces of inspiring luminescence guide the hidden way
I know that it will take me to another golden age
[Solo]
[Outro]
The sun will set forever
Never to rise again
And in the coming darkness
We‘ll fight to the bitter end
Our legend passed for memory
It‘s time to turn the page
The sun has set, now night is falling
Never again to hear the calling
The sun has set upon the golden age
