The Sun Fired Blanks Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

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 ministy 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
