Balance Lost (shadow)

I said a few bad things
That couldn't be withdrawn
I glove-slapped the wrong guy
Now it's pistols at dawn
Why do I have to get up?
Do I have to rise so soon?
What is the rush?
What's wrong with pistols at noon?

Too late to run away
To live again, I say
Today I'll face my fate in vein

A different way to play
Than I've become so used to
It's still the game of love
But when did it become so cruel?
Why do I have to get up?
Do I have to rise so soon?
What is the rush?
What's wrong with pistols at noon?

B-b-b-ba B-b-b-ba woohoo etc.

Too late to run away
To live again, I say
I lost the duel within my brain
Too late to run away
To live again, I say
Today I'll face my fate in vein

I said a few bad things
That couldn't be withdrawn
I glove-slapped the wrong guy
Now it's pistols at dawn

another strong shadow, that intro riff and the bubbling arpeggios feel like Classic Balance Lost to me. I love the "what's wrong with pistols at noon?" premise and the lyric as a whole reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons where Homer starts mimicking Zorro and eventually picks a duel with the wrong guy. I'm not crazy about the vocal melody in the verse, something about the long notes at the end of each line bugs me for some reason, but I like everything else about this - the extra layers of killer synth melodies that come in later on are especially great.
