A threesome remained: Sergei DONG (Vocals), Ian MARIA (Keyboards and programming) abd Dick D'PRESS (Guitar).
Determined to bewilder the world, they began shaping their breakfast-TV mentality into electronic beatscapes.
The keyword to determine THE OVERLORDS' particular mixture of light and shadow, of dark atmosphercs and lighthearted wit is: Awareness. Never remain indiferent! Never run for cover! Explore the multiverse in which everything (Past, present & future) takes part! Be vigilant! Be alert! Be interested! Be mind over matter! But most of all: Be funny!
"If DEPECHE MODE are THE BEATLES of techno, then we are THE MONKEES!", a quote by Overlords.

The Overlords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mudada esta mi alma en una sombra Perpetua
Soy un Rio sin Calma, que no encuentra respuesta
No hay razón Para Vivir, para Cantar, Para Reír No
no hay perdón no hay consuelo en la tempestad no fravo mi sueñoo
pierde tu esperanza, Aunque Busques no podrás hallar
bajo estamos Nada mas que soledad estoy enferma de Venganza
Nada aquí vale la pena, Soy un alma muerta Mi dolor es mi Condena
Ricadro Abarca
Nací en el Afismo, La altura no me marea, tomo sin permiso siempre busco la pelea, Yo pesco en el desierto y no hay fuego ni Parilla
lo que para mi son sueños, para ti son pesadillas
el cuchillo yo lo agarro por el filo y no me corto
Me tiro de un edificio y nada me rompo
me tapo con el frio NO tengo nada de manso
no trates de cansarme yo, yo no me canso
(Brenda: Sube sube sube Baja hasta las Nubes)
nuestro mundo esta dando vueltas, los polos están mareados el Norte ya no se encuentra
(Sube sube sube Baja hasta las Nubes)
Para ni no hay imposibles Atravieso el mar rojo voy confiado hacia ti tengo un mapa, Son tus Ojos
Brenda
por mas que busques no podrás encontrar lo brilla en mi Noo Ooh ...Eee Eee
Ricardo
Sube al infierno los demonios con Auroras
Baja el Paraíso Ángeles con Cuerpo y colas
(Brenda: Podrá quedar un lugar donde ir
pero solo hay obscuridad dentro de mi Noo Ooh hay Obscuridad Dentro de miiiii
Yo yo Yo conozco ese lugar Conozco la regla Puedo ve en la obscuridad sin linterna
sin GPS sin tecnología
Estamos conectados por telepatía
(Sube sube sube Baja hasta las Nubes)
nuestro mundo esta dando vueltas, los polos están mareados el Norte ya no se encuentra
(Sube sube sube Baja hasta las Nubes)
Para ni no hay imposibles Atravieso el mar rojo voy confiado hacia ti tengo un mapa, Son tus ojos.
The song "Sundown" by The Overlords is a complex and haunting expression of the eternal struggle between light and dark, hope and despair, and love and hate. The two vocalists, Brenda and Ricadro Abarca, deliver contrasting verses that paint vivid pictures of their respective emotional states. Brenda laments that her soul has become a perpetual shadow, and she is like a restless river without any answers. She feels that there is no reason to live, sing, or laugh, and there is no forgiveness or consolation in the storm. Brenda is sick with revenge, and she urges the listener to give up hope because there is only solitude below. In contrast, Ricadro Abarca boasts of his fearlessness and recklessness. He was born in the abyss, and he is not afraid of heights. He takes what he wants without asking, and he always looks for a fight. Ricadro Abarca compares his dreams to the listener's nightmares, and he demonstrates his physical and mental toughness by holding a knife by the blade, jumping off a building without breaking any bones, and enduring the cold without flinching. He warns the listener not to try to tire him out because he never gets tired.
The chorus of "Sundown" is a repeated phrase that alternates between Brenda and Ricadro Abarca. They invite the listener to ascend and descend between the clouds and the depths. They suggest that everything is turning and spinning, and the compass is lost. Nevertheless, they believe that nothing is impossible, and they trust in each other's eyes. There is a brief interlude in the song that features both vocalists singing in unison. They declare that they know a place where they can see in the dark without any light, GPS, or technology. They claim to be connected telepathically, and they encourage the listener to join them.

Was lucky enough to hear it back in 1992 when I was 16, recorded it too on my cassette on MARS FM before it became Groove Radio in Los Angeles, you can imagine how much I enjoyed it, was ahead of it's time. Still listen to it about every month or so quite a few times.
