Dark Tranquillity
The Sun Fired Blanks
[Verse 1]
Upon our evening
When the sun fired blanks
There rode the sickness
Out of our sight

[Verse 2]
Who carried torches
Burned out long before its time
Among these ruins
Where our love is to be found

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ambition falters
When no better is to be known
Cling to the unfounded pride

[Chorus]
Death to our belonging
And our ministry of two
Set the highest standard
And to a greater fall descend

[Verse 3]
Slaves to one another
And to others be it not
Soothing be temptation
Force the conscience to a halt
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Caused a high vibration
A tender light to be part of you
The two-way escape

[Chorus]
Death to our belonging
And our ministry of two
Set the highest standard
And to a greater fall descend
