Only Human Lyrics

In loving memory of Robert Sjunnesson.

His shadow self,
will be forgotten.
His shadow self!

In my heart of hearts,
I’ll keep the good memories closely guarded.
But the anxiety,
the darkness will walk with me forever.

For several years,
you outplayed the reaper.
But gradually time turned,
from a good friend to worst enemy.

The same blood boils in my veins,
as it did in yours.
It's the blood of pride,
stubbornness and unyielding struggle.

Memories are desperate to leave us,
but you will always be remembered.
It, however, burdens me a lot to confess,
that our consanguinity lies dismembered.

They say kites gain lift,
when facing headwind and so did you.
You just didn’t know when to come back down again,
from your skyward journey.

Distance is a dagger,
and the further apart the deeper the cut!
And you’re as far as one possibly can get.

Memories are desperate to leave us,
but you will always be remembered.
It, however, burdens me a lot to confess,
that our consanguinity lies dismembered.

I look inside myself as I dip the pen,
in the black ink of my heart.
And manifest enough queries,
to fill a bookshelf.

Uncle, are your watching?
I’ll carry your name through our songs.
And I’ll wear your silver as my armor,
we’ve lost the fifth son of the seventh son...

Memories are desperate to leave us,
but you will always be remembered.
It, however, burdens me a lot to confess,
that our consanguinity lies dismembered.

I look inside myself as I dip the pen,
in the black ink of my heart.
And manifest enough queries,
to fill a bookshelf.

Memories are desperate to leave us,
but you will always be remembered.
It, however, burdens me a lot to confess,
that our consanguinity lies dismembered.
