The Sun Fired Blanks - Dark Tranquillity

upon our evening when the sun fired blanks

there rode the sickness out of our sight

carried torches burned out long before it’s time

among these ruins where our love to be found

ambition falters when no better is to be known

cling to the unfounded pride

death to our belonging

and our ministry of two

set the higher standard

and to a greater fall descend

slaves to one another

and to others be it not

soothing be temptation

force the conscience to a halt

caused a high vibration

a tender light to be part of you

the two-way escape
