Songtext von Only Human

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 away 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 did the pen in the black ink of my heart And manifest enough queries to fill a bookshelf Uncle, are you watching? I'll carry your name through our songs And I will wear your silver as my armour 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 did the pen in the black ink of my heart And manifest enough queries to fill a bookshelf
