Considering it was written as word salad, the lyrics fit ridiculously well with Sunless Sea and the Fallen London universe in general. Even the cheeseburger verse. "Inside of aeons from chaotic spires, a shell of frozen time, where beats the silent ocean of shadows turned sublime" - The Neath is a vast and gothic cavern somewhere beneath the Mediterranean, dominated by the dark Unterzee. (The sea does not forgive, and it will not forgive you.) Its most prominent landmark is Echo Bazaar, a sapient many-spired space crab whose representatives have been making bargains with lovestruck surface monarchs for all of human history (most recently the Traitor Empress, Queen Victoria) and claiming their capital cities in exchange to keep on its back for its own ulterior reasons. (A Reckoning Will Not Be Postponed Indefinitely.) "Forces of inspiring luminescence guide the hidden way; I know that it will take me to another golden age" - in the far northernmost point of the Neath is the Avid Horizon, a gargantuan locked gate flanked by ominous statues and the burning letters of the Correspondence, where stars are visible beneath the water. The ending where you open the gate leads to the sequel, Sunless Skies. "Sundered from daylight by the rage of the unseen" - One theory is that the Neath is the skull of a long-dead god; at the very least, it has the thoughts of a god floating around in it and causing the weather, and being dead for millennia has not improved Storm's mood in the slightest. "Betwixt carbonic plateaus where rarity convenes" - The laws of science don't function in the Neath like they do on the surface, with things like time and space working inconsistently and its own rainbow of imaginary colours, making it an attractive haven for Devils and Fingerkings and Lorn-Flukes and Salt and all sorts of cosmic fugitives. "Under the heat of a thousand suns, destruction is attained" - The reason the Neath is like this is because natural law is the will of the stars, and if you've become a violation of those laws (for example, by surviving your death, which happens all the time) then sunlight will execute you if you're exposed to it. (When you close your eyes, you see the light. It is a secret electricity in your blood.) Consequently, while most revolutionary groups are preoccupied with making the sun finally set on the British Empire, the Calendar Council has a grander scheme in mind that they call the Liberation of Night... to which I refer you to the 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, NOW NIGHT IS FALLING NEVER AGAIN TO HEAR THE CALLING THE SUN HAS SET UPON THE GOLDEN AGE

@@nasyithrahman9594 So should I feel like an idiot for wanting this to be the final One Piece opening because I thought it would work with the fact that not only would it be the best song to signal the end of Luffy's journey to become King of The Pirates, it would also be the end of my era as an anime and manga fan since One Piece is the only member of the original Big Three left?
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 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 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 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 The final chapter, the end is close at hand Across the boundary where ocean meets the sand Embrace the anatine, forsake all that you know The tenebrous cosmic sphere where all of us must go 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 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, now night is falling Never again to hear the calling The sun has set upon the golden age

This song gives me goosebumps to this day!
Wonderful sound!
But for the lives we leave behind, don't shed a tear, don't cry

I thought this song is epic until Chris said the lyrics is about cheeseburger and cuddling a duck.
I'm totally missing the cheeseburgers, but I do get "embrace the anatine" haha

@@ZeldaEd123 not really. One piece is mostly thrown together random nonsense too.
It's pretty much as unpiraty as it can get
Still listen in 2022
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
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
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
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
The final chapter, the end is close at hand
Across the boundary where ocean meets the sand
Embrace the anatine, forsake all that you know
The tenebrous cosmic sphere where all of us must go
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
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, now night is falling
Never again to hear the calling
The sun has set upon the golden age
I'm buying the album. Sold.
I totally forget about this song, but I just woke up today, and this played in my head. I love it.
I just heard this today at a bar on the touch tone juke box. Freaking great music!
Love listening to Alestorm while on the Rum hehe

Wait, what? That's literally what it was about?
