Name: The Setting Of The Sun
Duration: P00H03M08S
Description: This track encompasses the experimental nature of "King's Quest, Fools Errand" as a whole. What started out as just some vocals and acoustic guitar was completely rebuilt in the studio. By adding electronic drums and multiple keyboard and synth sounds, the song took a much deferent direction then originally intended. The style is homage to 80's progressive rock such as Depeche Mode or Max-Q.

lyrics

Take little time, a little time
Before Life's over
The truth is there to find
We all can shine before the setting of the sun

Life is a fragile thing
Like a memory of a dream
Before we awake from the breath we take
Lets do some living
Spend most our lives
Being terrorized about dyeing
The fear of the unknown commercialized
Until we're scared into buying the shit they sell
That we don't need, now it's no wonder
We've trapped our souls in the service of greed
It's like a spell we're under.

So, take a little time, a little time
Before life's over
The truth is there to find
We all can shine before the setting of the sun

Advertisers try to trick our brains
Into believing
The world they're pushing on us is sane
But it's cold and greedy
There's more to life than material
It's all about love
And our consciousness is etherial
We're on a journey
